Max Weinberg has spoken about his return to the kit after heart surgery.
The E Street Band sticksman told Cleveland.com all about his recovery from surgery to repair a heart valve earlier this year.
He said: "They stopped my heart for seven hours. The recovery was grueling, but now my health is fantastic."
Max is now back at top form behind the kit, touring the US with a 15-piece big band, adding that returning to the E Street Band isn't on the cards just yet, but when Bruce is ready "we'll all be there, ready, willing and able to rock".
“He was playing this kit that had cushions in it and tape all over it. It didn’t sound like Rodge”: Queen hated Roger Taylor’s drum sound on their debut album so much that they “augmented” every beat for its reissue
“It’s his message, to let the world know how he feels about all the things that’s going on in the world”: Kool and the Gang drummer spent 20 years on a solo album but didn’t live to see its release
