Emotional? Nahhh...

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN: Really Steve? You Think?

Wow, here's breaking news -- Steve Van Zandt says Bruce Springsteen's upcoming E Street Band tour will be emotional without sax player Clarence Clemons, who died last June following a massive stroke. Asked if Clemons and the late E Street keyboardist Danny Federici would approve of them carrying on without them, Van Zandt says, "I think the answer's yes." The tour, in support of Springsteen's new album, Wrecking Ball, starts March 18th in Atlanta, although they'll play a warm-up show at New York's Apollo Theatre on March 9th and will perform on the Grammy Awards on Sunday on CBS.

Van Zandt's new TV series, Lilyhammer, starts streaming on Netflix today. A VIP premiere was held in New York last week and among those on hand were Springsteen, Tony Bennett and Sopranos creator David Chase.
