Bruce Springsteen’s wife and E Street Band member Patti Scialfa disclosed that she had been battling cancer for a number of years. In the September 8 Toronto International Film Festival premiere of Springsteen’s new documentary Rock Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Scialfa revealed that she received a multiple myeloma diagnosis in 2018.
Variety reports that the singer-songwriter had to make the tough choice to step back because the diagnosis made it impossible for her to tour with her husband and the E Street Band.
