I think Clarence deserves his own thread.

The legendary sax-player is gone :( I've had the pleasure of seeing The Boss and The E Street Band live, and it surly won't be the same without him!

Edit: some great photos form his career: http://framework.latimes.com/2011/06/18/clarence-clemons-1942-2011/

seeing Bruce Sprinsteen and the E Street Band live is one of the big things on my bucket list. so Clarence passing away is a big loss. the guy was brilliant and awesome on the sax. although it had long been known that he had his problems and this unfortunately isn't coming as a surprise.

such a shame. will be missed.

It is with overwhelming sadness that we inform our friends and fans that at 7:00 tonight, Saturday, June 18, our beloved friend and bandmate, Clarence Clemons passed away. The cause was complications from his stroke of last Sunday, June 12th.

Bruce Springsteen said of Clarence: 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 opportunity 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.
