“Arthritis Today” führte ein aufschlussreiches Interview mit “Big Man” Clarence Clemons. Der Saxophonist spricht über seine Knie- und Hüftimplantate und berichtet, wie er sich mit einer speziellen Diät und Gymnastik fit hält:
“There’s no time for pain, especially when I am on stage and the adrenaline is flowing,” says the charismatic, 6-foot-3-inch tall, 240-pound Singer Island, Fla., resident known as Big Man in the biz.
“Being on stage is like no other experience in the world. It certainly takes my mind off the aches and pains,” says Clarence with a laugh.

Currently on tour with Bruce and the band – performing three-hour shows a night – Clarence stays in top physical and mental condition with a regimen of daily stretching, cardio and strength training workouts, combined with a high protein, low carbohydrate diet, a multi-vitamin, glucosamine and fish oil. “Bruce is such a high-energy person, if I didn’t work out, I would die out there,” Clarence says. “I try to stay on top of it, be prepared, be ready to do my job.
When he’s not on the road he adds strength training, such as Pilates, three times a week with a trainer to his routine. “Pilates has changed my life and made me stronger,” he says.
…
“There’s no shame in having arthritis or undergoing surgeries,” he assures. “It takes courage to live life to the best of one’s ability. And if that means having surgery, then so be it.
