Lenny Sullivan was the cousin of singer Bruce Springsteen and his assistant road manager. On October 26, 2009, the 36-year-old Sullivan was found dead in his hotel room in Kansas City, Missouri. Authorities were investigating the death, but said it was "not suspicious." Sullivan's death prompted a rare cancellation of that night's Springsteen concert at the Sprint Center. On his official website, Springsteen cited a "death in Bruce's immediate family" as the reason for the cancellation.http://www.kmbc.com/entertainment/21432022/detail.html http://www.brucespringsteen.net/news/index.html http://www.nj.com/springsteen/index.ssf/2009/10/springsteen_show_in_kansas_cit.html
