führte ein Interview mit E Street Band Gitarristen Nils Lofgren. Natürlich wurde auch Clarence Clemons überraschender Tod (wir berichteten hier) angesprochen.
Nils Lofgren bestätigte, dass nicht nur die Fans, sondern auch alle Bandmitglieder in tiefer Trauer sind. Auf die Frage, wie es mit der E Street Band weitergehen werde, antwortete Lofgren, dass es noch zu früh sei, um über dieses Thema zu sprechen.
