It’s a difficult time for Bruce Springsteen, who a few weeks ago had spoken for the first time about cancer who hit his wife Patti Scialfa. In the documentary Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Bandpresented at the Toronto Film Festival, the first words about the disease, a multiple myeloma, form of blood cancer that affects cells of the immune system.
The Boss returned to the topic in the last few hours, during a participation in Good Morning America: «He’s fine, we found out in time, which was important.”he revealed, without however hiding the inevitable difficulties: “It’s a tough, very tiring disease.”
It had been Patti Scialfa herself, in Road Diary, to mention the disease for the first time, diagnosed in 2018: “It affects my immune system, so I have to be careful about what I choose to do and where I choose to go,” he had said. Words that came following numerous absences with her husband’s band: “People didn’t know why,” Springsteen declared to Good Morning America, adding that the most common question was: “Where is Patti?”.
Inevitable, considering that the partnership between Patti Scialfa and Springsteen has been personal and professional for decades. She, singer and songwriter, he joined Springsteen’s E Street Band in 1984. In 1991, the wedding, from which three children were born: Evan34 years old, musician like his parents, Jessica, 32, riding champion, e Sam, who fulfilled his childhood dream of being a firefighter and works in Jersey City.
Today Scialfa has returned to performing on stage, but compatibly with her treatments and keeping her commitments at bay. «Going on tour has become a challenge»he also said at the launch of the documentary, «Every now and then I come to one or two shows and I can sing a few songs on stage, and it’s a pleasure. This is the new normal for me right now, and I’m fine with that.” Perhaps, obviously, his participation in Springsteen’s next world tour, which will start in May 2025 from Manchester. It will be the first since 2017 and fans are all with Patti, hoping to see her at least on some date.
