An official statement regarding the drummer situation in the E Street Band has been published on the official website. The statement confirms that Jay Weinberg will replace his father Max Weinberg at "the few shows Max Weinberg won't be able to appear at". So now that this is settled speculation can begin as to what "few" means. Will it be more or less the entire European tour as has been rumored, or will it just be a show here and there? It sure is hard to imagine Max flying back and forth across the pond in order to be part of the European tour, so my guess is still that it will be, if not the whole European tour, then at least a significant stretch.
