SPRINGSTEEN REMEMBERS LATE PAL AT THE SUPER BOWL
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN paid a touching tribute to late bandmate DANNY FEDERICI during the Super Bowl pre-game telecast on Sunday (01Feb09) - by promoting the skin cancer charity the rocker created before he died in 2008.

Springsteen, who performed during the half-time show of the Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers' clash in Tampa, Florida, was interviewed last week (ends30Jan09) for the pre-show coverage, and he chose to dedicate airtime to honour Federici.
The rocker urged fans to "be aware of the dangers of the sun, take precautions and have yourself checked out regularly by a dermatologist."
His message was on behalf of The Danny Fund and the Melanoma Research Alliance.
And he concluded his brief PSA with, "We miss Danny every day and always will."
Federici lost his battle with melanoma in April 2008.
