C´s fina vän Don...som jag träffade backstage på MSG i New York. Vilken fin vän...
“I find myself both happy and sad with the news of the next tour. Life goes on and I’m certain Bruce will bring great joy to his fans worldwide. It will be highly emotional and heartbreaking when the moment comes for the iconic sax solos we all know so well. I suspect we will sing them as one. That will help.
“But it won’t change the fact that Clarence is gone. A great force, a deep powerful feeling, a larger than life presence will be missing. You can’t replace the un-replaceable.
“I keep expecting to see his name appear when my phone rings. I miss him more than I could have imagined. A great emptiness exists in my life and that feeling will stay with me until the end. Some days are worse than others and all this excitement brings me face to face with the hard truth.
“The last time I saw Clarence he talked about this tour and how much he was looking forward to it. He realistically thought it would be his last. He talked about all the fishing we would do in the Keys when the road ended. It ended sooner than anyone planned.
“He had been through so many surgeries in recent years, all in the name of being strong enough to play. New hips, new knees, a mostly metal spine and a pacemaker were the major procedures, but there were plenty of minor ones. He could walk with his canes but every step was painful. But he was determined to keep moving because a Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band show without him was unthinkable.
“So now we come face to face with the unthinkable. There will be many, many shows without him. And, of course, there will be none without him. But there will be something new in those evenings to come. Something beyond the sadness that came with Danny’s passing. Something intangible that Clarence took with him when he left.
“Within the celebration that is a Bruce concert will be a great void and we will all feel it when the time comes to say his name. Death is the unmentioned presence in every celebration of life and it will be part of our common experience as we gather together to sing in the darkness. Sing loud.”

Jag har världens bästa lillebror..Han förstår precis..Saknaden efter C går ej att förklara...Den är oändlig...
The hole in my heart is the biggest hole the world has ever seen. It's bigger than an airplane. It's bigger than the universe. It's bigger than the sun shining down on the Jersey Shore on a 4th of July.
The only thing bigger than the hole in my heart is that big empty space on the lit stage that used to belong to a big man and with a big heart and a big saxophone, creating big magic.

Nils om Clarence...
-Right off the bat, 27 years ago, he kind of embraced me into the band; they all did, but he was a really powerful friend. It's an awful loss. We spoke every week.
He also knows it will be strange to look to his right, where Clemons once stood, when the E Street Band hits the road in 2012.
"It'll be more than strange," Lofgren says. "There's no Clarence. There can't be.
Lofgren says he has "not a clue" about how Springsteen is going to configure the band for next year and how he's going to handle Clemons' absence. "I know, as always, he'll do something special and classy as he's always done, but that's a real rough thing,"
