No Max for Bruce
Word has just come out that Springsteen’s long-time drummer, Max Weinberg, will not be joining the band on the road in Europe this summer.
Weinberg has to take time off to honor his other musical commitments, namely his job as the leader of talk show host Conan O’Brien’s house band, the Max Weinberg 7. The host and crew are making their move to take over Jay Leno’s slot on the “Tonight Show,” which is set in Los Angeles.
Weinberg is not happy about moving away from the East Coast, and about missing this tour - it’s the first time since 1974 that he won’t be with them - but the band should be in good hands. Weinberg’s son, Jay, will be taking his dad’s place for the European leg.
