Springsteen Keyboardist Dies At 58
Federici Was Longtime E Street Band Member


NEW YORK -- A longtime member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band has died.

Danny Federici, the keyboard player whose stylish work helped define the band's sound on hits from "Hungry Heart" through "The Rising," died Thursday at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.

He was 58.

A Flemington, N.J. native, Federici had battled melanoma for three years. News of his death was posted Thursday night on Springsteen's official Web site, brucespringsteen.net.

Federici had taken a leave of absence during the band's current tour in November 2007, but returned to play portions of a show in Indianapolis on March 20.

The Ties That Bind

You been hurt and you're all cried out you say
You walk down the street pushin' people outta your way
You packed your bags and all alone you wanna ride,
You don't want nothin', don't need no one by your side
You're walkin' tough baby, but you're walkin' blind

(Chorus)
The ties that bind
Now you can't break the ties that bind

Cheap romance, it's all just a crutch
You don't want nothin' that anybody can touch
You're so afraid of being somebody's fool
Not walkin' tough baby, not walkin' cool
You walk cool, but darlin', can you walk the line
And face the ties that bind
The ties that bind
Now you can't break the ties that bind

I would rather feel the hurt inside, yes I would darlin',
Than know the emptiness your heart must hide,
Yes I would darlin', yes I would darlin',
Yes I would baby

You sit and wonder just who's gonna stop the rain
Who'll ease the sadness, who's gonna quiet the pain
It's a long dark highway and a thin white line
Connecting baby, your heart to mine
We're runnin' now but darlin' we will stand in time
To face the ties that bind
The ties that bind
Now you can't break the ties that bind
You can't forsake the ties that bind
