Clarence Clemons, Bruce Springsteen's longtime saxophone player and a legend in the music industry, died Saturday from complications following a stroke he suffered about a week ago.
Clemons' sax has been one of the most defining elements of the E Street Band's sound. He has suffered from numerous ailments over the last few years. He had double knee surgery and even had to perform from a wheelchair at one point.
But his health seemed to be improving. Just last month, he performed with Lady Gaga on the season finale of "American Idol."

I had never heard of Clemons until I saw him in Lady GaGa's music video for The Edge of Glory. Nonetheless, rest in peace.

I had just been reading about him yesterday, that he was the man with Gaga on AI. I was surprised.
I can't say I know a lot about him, but rest in peace.

A great artist is gone. I know his solo's on Springsteen's records by heart.

The Ede of Glory basically is a metaphor for the last few moments on earth, so it's such a coincedence.
