Clarence Clemons, the longtime saxophonist for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, suffered a stroke last night at his Florida home. The severity of the stroke hasn't been confirmed at press time, but 411.com, the site that broke the story, writes that Clemons is "seriously ill" and that members of the E Street Band have been told to visit him in Florida "as soon as possible." (Rolling Stone has also confirmed the news.)

UPDATE: Springsteen fansite Backstreets reports that Clemons has undergone two brain surgeries in a Florida hospital and is currently responsive and in stable condition. "If anyone can pull off the miracle, it's him. He's fought back from so much before," a close friend of Clemons told Backstreets. Clemons is still "in a fight for his life," however.

Damn man. Not a huge fan of Bruce, but fucking hell, I have all kinds of respect for him, and everyone in his band. Clarence was one of the really high-profile members of the band.....sure hope he recovers. :(

Shit..... not the Big Man :(

While sax players aren't always the first thing that comes to mind when you think of essential parts of a rock n roll band, Clarence Clemons is exactly that. Couldn't imagine The Boss & the E Street Band without him.

Damn right. What would Rosalita Come Out Tonight, and so many others, be without the Big Man killing it on the sax?
