Springsteen's saxophonist, Clarence Clemons, died at age 69 last year following a stroke. Guitarist Steve Van Zandt said that the Springsteen 2012 Tour should prove to me an emotional one for the E-Street Band and its audience in the absence of the musician.
Van Zandt noted that the band's work will always be a tribute to Clemons, as well as the keyboard player Danny Frederici who died in 2008, reported The Associated Press.
The guitarist said that band members were able to work through the high emotions by asking themselves what their deceased colleagues what have wanted them to carry on with their work.
"I think the answer's yes," said Van Zandt.
In addition to being a successful musician, Springsteen has also appeared in acting roles and is well-known for his politics and activism.
