WILL THE E STREET BAND CONTINUE?
Brought To You By VH1’s Dave Basner

E Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons passed away due to complications from a stroke on Saturday and now, as fans grieve they are left wondering what will happen to the band. He isn’t the first member to pass on – in 2008 keyboardist Danny Federici died of melanoma – but Clarence was one of the biggest presences on the stage, so his absence will change the group’s dynamic. He has big shoes to fill and there is no word yet if Bruce Springsteen will attempt to find someone to fill them.

I'm sure they will go on in memory of Clarence.

As long as Springsteen is around then his music will be played, whether that's with the E-Street band or other musicians is up to him in the end.

After the grieving is over, and they get together then I'm sure they'll make the right decision for all of them.

It won't be the same but the show must go on.

 

[METALPRIEST]

I miss Clarence already, but I think they will go on

It's a bit too soon to predict an end to the band, don't you think !?! jeez.


I am like everyone else, the show must and will go on...........

Bruce and the boys will continue to play. This past weekend Bruce was playing at the Wonder Bar in Asbury Park, NJ with The Sensational Soul Cruisers. They have an amazing horn section so I'm wondering if one of those guys will join the E Street Band. Here's the link...

People have come and gone from the E Street Band throughout their history. Admittedly the Big Man's presence will be hard to replace, but as long as Bruce wants to keep the band alive they'll play on.
