Despite initial reports that Clemons was responding well to treatment – and despite a pair of brain surgeries to repair the damage wrought by the stroke – his condition worsened as the week wore on, and he died on Saturday, June 18.

Official details regarding the severity of the stroke, or Clemons' current condition, have yet to surface; predictably, the rumors have varied wildly, suggesting everything from partial paralysis to unexpectedly encouraging signs of recovery. The initial report, broken by Showbiz411 and confirmed by Rolling Stone, described Clemons as "seriously ill."
