Bruce & E-Street Band Plan Tour in 2012-First Without The Big Man

Get ready Bruce fans...one of the best live shows in popular music will hit the road again next year.  Word is Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band will tour for the first time since the death... of long-time band member Clarence Clemons.  Apparently, Springsteen had to make touring commitments early for the Europe leg of the tour.  Rolling Stone Magazine is reporting that the Springsteen tour will hit the States in the spring.  A new album is planned as well, but details are still sketchy .  I'm sure Springsteen fans are wondering how Bruce will handle the loss of sax player Clarence Clemons.  The shows simply won't be the same without the big man, but life goes on, and some of the magic is better than nothing at all.
