| Saxophone, Percussion, Backing Vocals Clarence Clemons — the Big Man with the big horn — died June 18th 2011 of complications from a stroke he suffered. He was 69. He was the spirit of the E Street Band, and the oaken staff that Bruce Springsteen leaned on.
“Clarence lived a wonderful life,” Bruce Springsteen said in a statement “He carried within him a love of people that made them love him. He created a wondrous and extended family. He loved the saxophone, loved our fans and gave everything he had every night he stepped on stage.” There have been many charismatic figures in the E Street Band, but none had the personal gravity of Clemons, the group’s Bunyanesque saxophonist. Clarence was a prominent member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band since 1972. |
