Bruce Springsteen Updates Fans on Wife's Health

Bruce Springsteen provided an update on his wife Patti Scialfa’s health, revealing that she is doing well after her recent diagnosis of multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer. In a preview for the upcoming ABC special 'Bruce Springsteen: Backstage and Backstreets,' he emphasized the importance of early detection, stating, 'We caught it early, which was important.' Scialfa has largely been absent from recent tours due to her condition but occasionally performs, describing her current participation as a 'new normal.' The special, hosted by George Stephanopoulos, will air on October 20 and also feature insights into Springsteen's own health struggles that led to postponed tour dates last year. Scialfa's diagnosis was publicly revealed in the documentary 'Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band,' which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. The couple, who married in 1991, often reflect on their relationship, highlighting their early meeting at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park.
