# 1 ≡ Addio Big Man, Clarence Clemmons
La musica non sara' piu' la stessa: addio.
Ti ho visto l'ultima volta un paio di anni fa, a Udine, in un concerto fantastico che abbiamo rischiato di perdere. Eri evidetemente sofferente, fermo, quasi immobile, ma con la tua presenza enorme, il tuo sax sempre vivo, riempivi tutto lo stadio. Ricordo ancora con stupore e ammirazione le unghie colorate d'oro, che si muovevano sui tasti del sax pure dorato: che spettacolo.
Ti ho visto la prima volta tanti anni fa, nel 1985 a Milano S.Siro, e mi hai folgorato, come tanti altri.
Addio, il mondo e' un po' piu' povero oggi.
Citazione:It is with overwhelming sadness that we inform our friends and fans that at 7:00 tonight, Saturday, June 18, our beloved friend and bandmate, Clarence Clemons passed away. The cause was complications from his stroke of last Sunday, June 12th.
Bruce Springsteen said of Clarence: Clarence lived a wonderful life. He carried within him a love of people that made them love him. He created a wondrous and extended family. He loved the saxophone, loved our fans and gave everything he had every night he stepped on stage. His loss is immeasurable and we are honored and thankful to have known him and had the opportunity to stand beside him for nearly forty years. He was my great friend, my partner, and with Clarence at my side, my band and I were able to tell a story far deeper than those simply contained in our music. His life, his memory, and his love will live on in that story and in our band.
