PALM BEACH, Florida (AP) _ Bruce Springsteen eloquently eulogized his friend of more than four decades and E Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons Tuesday at a private funeral in a small Florida church.
The roughly two-hour service for the 69-year-old Clemons, known as the Big Man and Springsteen's main foil onstage over their long careers, was at the Royal Poinciana Chapel on this manicured island of the rich and famous. Faint strains of music could be heard outside the small gray church.
Springsteen, among those delivering eulogies, spoke of his long kinship with Clemons, according to those leaving the church.
