Clarence Clemons has indeed suffered a "serious stroke," Bruce Springsteen wrote on Backstreets.com Tuesday.

Reports that described his deficits Sunday were posted in various threads on E-Street's web site that CC has improved over the last 24 hours thankfully giving his family and legion of fans hope for significant recovery. Backstreets reports via family members that "His vital signs are improving and he's more responsive... He was paralyzed on his left side, but now he's squeezing with his left hand following two surgical procedures."

At 69 years of age The Big Man continues to amaze despite fighting serious health problems evident during the grind of the last tour of 2009-2010. An awesome talent who despite soon to turn 70 in January continues to add greatly to E-Streets energy and on stage magic despite long ago meeting criteria for the senior tour of rock and roll. Hopefully his gains will continue steadily....
