Bruce Springsteen reveals "something missing" following Clemons death
Bruce Springsteen There were many Springsteen fans across the world felt a great loss when E Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons died in June last year, but none felt it more than The Boss himself.
Springsteen revealed that as well as being devastated by the loss of his long-time friend and collaborator, the loss is ever more present on his new album and expects it to be the same on the band’s upcoming world tour.
For fans, and Springsteen though, the Big Man has one final stand to make as he appears on the track Land of Hope and Dreams on the new album.
Springsteen said, "I met Clarence when I was 22, my son's age, still a child really.
"Something happened when we got close, it fired my imagination.
"So losing Clarence was like something elemental, the air or the rain. There's just something missing.
"We were lucky to get him on 'The Land of Hope and Dreams'. When the sax solo comes up, it's a lovely moment to me."
Going on to talk about his songs, The Boss added, "My work has always been about judging the distance between the American reality and the American Dream. I write to process my own experiences and if I can do that for me, I hope I can do that for you."
Wrecking Ball, featuring the last E Street release of featuring Clemons’ iconic sax sound, is out at the beginning of March.
