Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band canceled last night’s Kansas City show at the Sprint Center only hours before show time due to the unexpected death of Springsteen’s cousin, 36-year-old Lenny Sullivan.
A statement posted on brucespringsteen.net read: “Lenny Sullivan, Bruce’s cousin and the assistant road manager of the E Street Band for the last 10 years, passed away today at the age of 36. A warm and sensitive person, he was beloved by Bruce, the band, the crew, and the entire Thrill Hill family. Our deepest condolences to all those who knew him and loved him.”
