The report claims that members of the E Street Band were "advised to get down to Florida as soon as possible" to see their pal.
Clarence has battled several conditions over the last few years, including a double knee surgery, but it hasn't stopped him from performing with Bruce Springsteen and E Street.
Most recently, he collaborated with Lady Gaga on her hot new track "Edge of Glory," off the album Born This Way. He performed with her last month on the American Idol finale.
