Clarence Clemons, beloved rock saxophonist, E-Street band member and FOB—Friend of Bruce (Springsteen)— has suffered a massive stroke. At first things looked very, very bad. But after two brain surgeries, there are reports that he is responsive and stable. Reportedly, Clemons was initially paralyzed on his left side, but he has since been able to squeeze his left hand.
Various news outlets are following the story, but Backstreets.com and Rolling Stone are likely the most up to date sources of information.
Sending all possible prayers. We can’t possibly lose the music of Clarence Clemons right now. I’m sorry but it’s simply not permissible.
