Clarence Clemons, the iconic saxophonist at the heart of Bruce Springsteen‘s E Street Band, has suffered a stroke.

Its severity and his current condition have not been disclosed.

In addition to his decades-long association with Springsteen, Clemons was a contributor on Lady Gaga‘s Born This Way album and performed with her during last month’s “American Idol” finale.

Clemons was due to play the national anthem before Game 2 of the NBA Finals last week before a hand injury, the most recent in a litany of ailments, forced him to cancel.

Rolling Stone confirmed news of the stroke.

    OMG! I am a huge fan of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. I love the big man Clarence Clemons. He plays the sax so amazingly. I hope he recovers from this!

    It’s pretty telling of the sorry-ing state of our ‘culture’ when Lady Gaga’s name has to be used to bring attention to a great, long-time musician like Clarence Clemens. Hopefully he recovers from the stroke http://bit.ly/kYuM1C
