This is very sad news but Bruce Springsteen has confirmed that long-time saxophonist Clarence Clemons of his E Street Band has suffered a stroke, saying “initial signs are encouraging”, but that he faces a long recovery.
Clemons who is 69 fell ill over the weekend however his representatives had declined to disclose any information about his condition.
Springsteen, in a statement issued through his publicist, said: “While all initial signs are encouraging, Clarence will need much care and support to achieve his potential once again.
Clemons underwent double knee-replacement surgery in 2008 and walked for the first time in three months when Springsteen and the E Street Band played the Super Bowl in 2009. I went to see Springsteen and the band last year and Clemons sat on a stool for most of the evening.
