Published 14th Jun 2011

Springsteen fansite Backstreets is reporting that Clemons, who suffered a massive stroke over the weekend, is in a stable condition in hospital in Florida and is now responsive.

A source told the site "Yesterday, it did not look good at all. Today... miracles are happening. His vital signs are improving. He's responsive. His eyes are welling up when we're talking to him. He was paralyzed on his left side, but now he's squeezing with his left hand. This is the best news we've heard since the stroke happened - it's nothing short of miraculous. The next five days will still be critical. But he's a fighter."

According to reports the "Big Man" underwent two brain surgeries in order to stabilise his condition.
