    During the last tour I remember how poorly clarence was movng around (or not really moving) on stage. Pretty sure I remember reading that they had to use some kind of lift to get him up on the stage because his hips and knees were in such poor condition.

    Wishing him all the best towards a full recovery. Hopefully he hasn't played his last show!

    Clarence not only has had both knees rebuilt,he's had hip problems ,
    & he's also had Back - Fusion procedures, as well.
    Obviously, he is a very large man, carrying all that weight has got to be wearing.

    I'm at home, watching & listening to the DVD
    Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band Live in NYC .
    The interlude for "The River" just came on ,
    while I was cleaning my apartment ,
    and I began to sob like a newborn baby, uncontrollably.
    So sad,... reminds us all of our mortality,
    and reminds me of how very lucky I am .
    Get well Big Man !

    Bruce finally makes a statement:

    From Brucespringsteen.net

    By now, many of you have heard that our beloved comrade and sax player Clarence Clemons has suffered a serious stroke. While all initial signs are encouraging, Clarence will need much care and support to achieve his potential once again. He has his wonderfully supportive wife, Victoria, excellent doctors and health care professionals, and is surrounded by friends and family.



    I thank you all for your prayers and positive energy and concern. This is a time for us all to share in a hopeful spirit that can ultimately inspire Clarence to greater heights.



    -- Bruce Springsteen



    FROM CLARENCE'S FAMILY

    Listening to The Lennon Show bootleg and that is a killer version of "Born to Run" to start the show.

    Any updates on Clarence?

    We played king of the mountain out on the end
    The world come chargin' up the hill, and we were women and men
    Now there's so much that time, time and memory fade away
    We got our own roads to ride and chances we gotta take
    We stood side by side each one fightin' for the other
    We said until we died we'd always be blood brothers

    Now the hardness of this world slowly grinds your dreams away
    Makin' a fool's joke out of the promises we make
    And what once seemed black and white turns to so many shades of gray
    We lose ourselves in work to do and bills to pay
    And it's a ride, ride, ride, and there ain't much cover
    With no one runnin' by your side my blood brother

    On through the houses of the dead past those fallen in their tracks
    Always movin' ahead and never lookin' back
    Now I don't know how I feel, I don't know how I feel tonight
    If I've fallen 'neath the wheel, if I've lost or I've gained sight
    I don't even know why, I don't know why I made this call
    Or if any of this matters anymore after all

    But the stars are burnin' bright like some mystery uncovered
    I'll keep movin' through the dark with you in my heart
    My blood brother

    Clarence lived a wonderful life. 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. His loss is immeasurable and we are honored and thankful to have known him and had the oppurtunity to stand beside him for nearly forty years. He was my great friend, my partner and with Clarence at my side, my band and I were able to tell a story far deeper than those simply contained in our music. His life, his memory, and his love will live on in that story and in our band. -- Bruce

    No words right now. How can anyone say anything more than what Bruce released in a statement.

    Big Man, I'm so fortunate to have the privilege to tell my son someday that I saw you play with Bruce and the rest of the E-Street Band.

    The ESB will never be the same without him

    So glad I got to see 4 shows on the last tour

    My heart goes out to his family, Bruce and the rest of the ESB

    He will certainly be missed

    RIP Big Man
