Danny Federici- E Street Band on leave with melanoma

Post by tikiwoman »

I know there are Bruce fans here- phin power to Danny!

Danny takes a leave of absence
Bad news for the European fans and for the E Street Band: keyboardist Danny Federici will not be joining the tour overseas as he will be taking a leave of absence from the band. The temporary departure will allow Danny time to undergo treatment for melanoma, which is unfortunately a rather serious form of skin cancer. However, if everything goes well, he will be rejoining the tour further down the road. In a statement Bruce says, "Danny is one of the pillars of our sound and has played beside me as a great friend for more than 40 years. We all eagerly await his healthy and speedy return." He will be temporarily replaced by Charles Giordano, who played accordion with the Sessions Band. Not a bad substitution if there must be one.
Thank God the Tiki Bar is Open!
