Auf Backstreets.com fand ich gerade diese Info über „The Big Man“. Ich hoffe ja daß ich Ihn nochmal mit der E-Street Band erleben kann, wenn ich aber lese daß er nach dem dritten Lied schon nach einem Hocker verlangte, hört sich das nicht wirklich so an, als ob er in seinem Gesundheitszustand eine Tournee bestreiten könnte. Und was ist die E-Street-Band schon ohne Clarence ?
WALK LIKE A (BIG) MAN
Clarence Clemons was honored yesterday with a star on the Legends of Music Walk of Fame in his birthplace of Norfolk, VA. Clarence was the final inductee of the afternoon, making his entrance in a white stretch limo… and at the concert that followed last night he played four numbers, including „Paradise By the C“ and „You’re a Friend of Mine.“ Katherine Byrd, who took these photos and reported from the event, tells us, „I would say he looks ‚tour ready.'“
For the Big Man’s final song of the night, Byrd writes, „he asked for a stool, saying that he was 65 and deserved to be able to sit down. He stopped mid-way to dedicate the song to his late parents, saying how they were really with him tonight (along with about 50 other relatives). He said that his father taught him to always follow his heart, for the truth was in your heart, not your mind — because your mind will play tricks on you, but your heart will not. He also spoke about how his dad bought him a saxaphone when he was nine, but he wanted a train set — that got a lot of laughs. He was so very happy, and said something to the effect that meeting Bruce was the best thing to ever happen to him.“

Clarence doesn't leave the E Street Band when he dies. He leaves when we die
