Peers pay their respects to Clarence Clemons

The death of saxophonist Clarence Clemons has broken the hearts of friends, family, and fans the past couple of days. But fellow artists are determined to keep his memory alive.

At the band’s performance in Anaheim, California, U2’s Bono asked the audience to “think about Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band,” according to PopDust.com.

“I want [the audience] to think of Clarence Clemons,” he said. “This man has carried music, and music carried him until this day.”

Coldplay’s Chris Martin also paid his respects, but he did it over the Web. According to Live4Ever.com, the band member wrote a message on the band’s official website.

“RIP our favourite saxophone player, Clarence ‘Big Man’ Clemons,” he wrote.

Former Guns N Roses guitarist Slash also said a few words about the musician via Twitter.

“Clarence Clemons was one of the finest musicians/people in this business,” he wrote. “He will be sorely missed. RIP”
