Patti Scialfa, Bruce Springsteen’s wife and E Street Band member, shared the details in a new documentary.
In a new documentary, Patti Scialfa, Bruce Springsteen’s wife and E Street Band member, reveals she was diagnosed with blood cancer multiple myeloma in 2018.
Scialfa shared the news in “Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band,” which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival on Sunday, Sept. 8, according to “This affects my immune system, so I have to be careful what I choose to do and where I choose to go,” the 71-year-old said in the film. “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. That’s the new normal for me right now, and I’m OK with that.”
Variety reported Scialfa didn’t attend the premiere for the documentary. The current state of her health and whether she is receiving treatment for her myeloma is unclear. E Street Band was founded in 1972, nearly two decades before Springsteen and Scialfa married in 1991. In 2014, she, along with the rest of E Street Band, was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Springsteen’s also gotten candid about his mental and physical health. In 2012, Springsteen told The New Yorker that he’d dealt with “intervals of depression.” Scialfa added that therapy has helped him.Demi Moore, 61, opens up about aging, body image and why now is the ‘most exciting time’ in her life
