Bruce Springsteen is to release a new EP which features the final performance from his late keyboardist Danny Federici.

Federici, who died in April following a three year battle with melanoma, stars on '4th Of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)' – one of the EP's four tracks.

'Magic Tour Highlights' also features 'Always A Friend', 'The Ghost Of Tom Joad' and 'Turn Turn Turn'.

Each song on the EP, which is released on July 15th, will be accompanied by a live video from the city it was shot in.

Despite his illness, Federici's death, at the age of 58, still came as a shock to many of Springsteen's fans.

The popular keyboardist had helped to define the sound of the E Street Band during his 40 year career with Springsteen.
