Will Forte (keyboardist, The B-Street Band) : We had to make it known that we didn't want to seem disrespectful, in any way, shape or form, to Bruce and his music and his band. I don't want to upset them. We owe everything to him and our gratitude and respect to the band is imperative above all else.
