Bruce plans tour, CD for 2012

Bruce Springsteen has answered "yes" to the question of whether there’s a future for his E-Street Band following the death earlier this year of saxophonist and close friend Clarence "Big Man" Clemmons." According to his Website, Springsteen will release a CD of new material next year and kick off a tour in May with a series of concerts in Europe.

"Info on the US dates and the World tour dates will be coming up shortly," Springsteen says on his Webpage. "In addition, we want you to know the music is almost done (but still untitled), we have almost settled on the release date (but not quite yet) and that we’re all incredibly excited about everything that we’re planning for 2012."
