Bruce Springsteen’s wife, Patti Scialfa, reveals blood cancer diagnosis

Bruce Springsteen’s wife, Patti Scialfa, revealed she was diagnosed with a form of blood cancer in 2018.

Scialfa, now 71, spoke about her health for the first time in the new documentary “Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band,” which premiered Sunday at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Scialfa, who is a member of the famed backing band, brought up her diagnosis while explaining why she chose to take a step back from performing around the time of her husband’s “Springsteen on Broadway” residency in 2018.

“Touring has become a challenge for me. This affects my immune system, so I just have to be careful what I choose to do and where I choose to go,” she said, per Rolling Stone.
