HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) - May 9, 2010
Last year, E Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons arose from a wheelchair to perform at the Super Bowl with Bruce Springsteen after a double knee replacement.
Now he's taking to the stage again after a new struggle to recover from major spinal surgery.
Clemons performed Saturday night at a Hollywood, Fla., benefit for Home Safe, a children's charity.
Clemons had surgery Jan. 13 and is still alternating between a wheelchair and a crutch.
But he told The Associated Press in a recent interview he's winning his battles - including severe, chronic pain and post-surgical depression.
Clemons says if there's an E Street tour in 2011, he'll be ready.
