The Ultimate Bruce Springsteen Tribute Page

2008-04-18 Danny Federici has passed away Keybordist, accordion player, founding member of the E Street Band, and friend of Bruce Springsteen passed away last night after a three-year battle with melanoma cancer. In an official statement Bruce states: "Danny and I worked together for 40 years - he was the most wonderfully fluid keyboard player and a pure natural musician. I loved him very much...we grew up together." The death of Danny Federici is not only a terrible loss to his family, friends and colleagues. He will also be sorely missed by millions of E Street Band fans all of the world. Although not usually in the spotlight like Clarence Clemons or Steve Van Zandt, his sound and stage presence were integral parts of the band and it will never be the same without him. Read the complete statement on brucespringsteen.net.
As a result of Danny's death, Friday and Saturday's shows in Ft. Lauderdale and Orlando have been postponed. New dates will be published shortly.
2008-04-16 Bruce supports Obama Bruce wasn't deterred from being outspoken about presidential candidates after his participation in John Kerry's campaign in 2004. In a statement published today on his official website he announced that he is supporting Barrack Obama in the race to become the Democratic presidential candidate, referring to Obama as "head and shoulder above the rest". Question is if he will take this further and participate in any campaign rallies or even another election tour like the Vote For Change Tour four years ago. Could it be that the lack of US concert dates beyond August owes to Bruce awaiting the Democratic primary result before deciding whether to get active in"Bruce Springsteen" - Google News
