Bruce Springsteen's Wife Unveils Shocking Cancer Battle
Patti Scialfa's Brave Battle with Cancer
Patti Scialfa, the wife of rock legend Bruce Springsteen and a cherished member of the E Street Band, recently disclosed her struggle with multiple myeloma, a serious form of blood cancer. This revelation came during the premiere of the documentary Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at the Toronto Film Festival.
Health Impact on Touring
Scialfa detailed how her illness impacts her life and career, sharing, “This affects my immune system, so I have to be careful what I choose to do and where I choose to go.” While she occasionally joins Springsteen on stage, she admits that her health requires her to limit performances.
A Reflective Documentary
The documentary offers an intimate look into the lives of Springsteen and his band, showcasing their collaborative bond. Scialfa noted, “Performing on stage with my husband offers the audience a side of our relationship that you usually don’t get to see.” Bruce Springsteen, who has also faced his own health challenges, recently postponed his 2023 tour due to his diagnosis of peptic ulcer disease.
The Path Ahead
Despite the health setbacks, both Scialfa and Springsteen are committed to their music. Bruce expressed his desire to continue performing for fans “until the wheels come off.”
