Patti Scialfa, Bruce Springsteen’s wife and bandmate, reveals blood cancer diagnosis
NY Post
Patti Scialfa, the wife of Bruce Springsteen, has been battling a form of blood cancer since 2018.
Scialfa, 71, revealed her diagnosis with multiple myeloma in her husband’s new documentary, “Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band,” which premiered Sunday night at the Toronto Film Festival.
The guitarist explained that her health issues are the reason why she’s taken a step back from her and Springsteen’s E Street Band.
“Touring has become a challenge for me,” Scialfa said in the doc. “This affects my immune system so I just have to be careful what I choose to do and where I choose to go.”
“Every once in a while, I come to a show or two and I can sing a few songs on stage, and that’s been a treat,” Scialfa added. “That’s the new normal for me right now, and I’m OK with that.”
Scialfa has been a member of E Street Band since 1984 and married Springsteen in 1991.
