E Street Band saxophone player Clarence Clemons has died in Florida aged 69.
A spokeswoman for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Marilyn Laverty, confirmed the death yesterday. Clemons was one of the key influences in Springsteen's life and music.
He was hospitalised about a week ago after suffering a stroke at his home in Singer Island, Florida.

Known as the Big Man for his imposing 196-metre, 122kg-plus frame, Clemons and his ever-present saxophone spent much of his life with The Boss.
His solos became a signature sound for the E Street Band on many songs.
