Very sad news. While I was never a HUGE Springsteen fan on the level of my sister, I have always appreciated and enjoyed his music as well as the significance of the talent, presence, and friendship of Clarence Clemons.

During the holidays, I always enjoy Springsteen's playful little aside to Clemons during his 'live' rendition of 'Santa Claus is Comin' to Town'. That little 5-second moment emotes the relationship Clarence had developed with Bruce, the band, and the audience. I look forward to it more than the song itself.

Very touching and heartfelt statement on Springsteen's website. My heart goes out to Bruce Springsteen, the E-Street Band and all of Clemons' family, friends, and fans.
A great loss to the entertainment world.
