Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band have finally responded on their future plans in their music career. They have confirmed that the band will continue without Clarence Clemons, their sax player who passed away not too long ago. Springsteen himself confirmed on his official website that the E Street Band will release a new album and will go on a full fledged tour.

More on the story, here.

You ask, why would they continue without Clarence? My guess, is that they are continuing on is because that is what Clarence would have wanted. They are doing this for Clarence I bet. Also, how much do you want to bet that their next album is going to be dedicated to Clarence? Don’t be surprised if almost every song on their next album will be about him.

While I’m sure, the E Street Band already replaced a sax player, no other sax player will top Clarence’s recognizable sound, that’s for sure.

I thought the E Street Band’s last album, “Workin’ On a Dream”, was one of their best new albums in a long time. Their song, “Outlaw Pete”, is the best song off that album.

While Bruce Springsteen is celebrating his 62nd birthday today, there are heavy rumors online that the E Street Band maybe calling it quits for good. I bet the reason is, they feel they can’t go on without Clarence Clemons, their most recognizable member of the E Street Band. I agree, it isn’t the E Street Band without Clarence, sad but true. Bruce and the rest of the band plan to get together into a meeting to announce the band’s future. I have a feeling that Bruce and the E Street Band maybe hanging it up for good.

This still doesn’t mean that Bruce is retiring from music though, just the E Street Band. I’m sure Bruce will continue to release albums without the band. We’ll have to wait and see.

Bruce is the man. I’ve always loved his music too. I even like his newer stuff as well.

Here are a few of my favorite songs of his below…
