Sad News: RIP Danny Federici (1950-2008)

April 17th, 2008 by Pete - - Posted in The Boss |

Danny Federici, Bruce Springsteen’s organ, keys, and accordion player for the last 40 years, passed away Thursday afternoon after a three year battle with melanoma. My prayers and warmest condolences go out to Danny’s Family and the E Street family.

Rest in Peace Danny.

  2. This is indeed very sad news, but I feel privileged to have seen him in Toronto in October for one of his final two dozen shows with the E Street Band…

  3. We’ll miss your naturalness and clear playing.
    Rest in peace.

    Not the way I wanted to start out my Friday…

  5. I so hoped he was getting better. Rest in peace, Danny.
