Rolling Stone has published an excerpt of the interview Jon Stewart had with Bruce Springsteen, which will be published on the March 29th issue.
«Springsteen intended to have Clemons on the new album, but says he passed on a recording session to check out his health and soon after had a stroke. Springsteen went to Clemons’ bedside. Clemons squeezed his hand when Springsteen spoke, but Clemons never regained consciousness. After Clemons died, producer Ron Aniello took a live rendition of the concert staple «Land of Hopes and Dreams,» separated Clemons’ part and put it into a studio version. Springsteen said: «When the solo section hit, Clarence’s sax filled the room. I cried.»
