Bruce Springsteen’s wife Patti Scialfa has been battling cancer<\/p>\n

The 71-year-old songwriter\/guitarist – who plays in her husband E Street Band – was diagnosed with a form of blood cancer called multiple myeloma back in 2018 and she stepped back from touring as she faced the health crisis in private.<\/p>\n

She revealed her cancer battle in new documentary ‘Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen<\/a> and the E Street Band,’ which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in Canada on Sunday night (08.09.24). Speaking about her decision to scale back her stage commitments, Patti explained: “I\u2019ve been performing with this band for 40 years. With those first performances, it felt so good to be back onstage. <\/p>\n

“Touring has become a challenge for me. In 2018, well, Bruce and I were doing a play on Broadway. I was diagnosed with early stage multiple myeloma.”<\/p>\n

She went on to reveal she tries to come to a show every so often but she’s no longer a regular on stage.<\/p>\n

\nPatti added: “This affects my immune system so I just have to be careful what I choose to do and where I choose to go. Every once in a while, I come to a show or two and I can sing a few songs onstage, and that\u2019s been a treat. That\u2019s the new normal for me right now, and I\u2019m OK with that.”<\/p>\n

\nThe documentary marks the first time Patti has spoken publicly about her cancer diagnosis.<\/p>\n

\nHer husband Bruce has also faced a series of health crisis during the last few years of touring. He was struck down with peptic ulcer disease which forced him to take a six-month break from work because it affected his singing.<\/p>\n

\nSpeaking earlier this year on Sirius XM’s E Street Radio, he explained, “You sing with your diaphragm. You know, my diaphragm was hurting so badly that when I went to make the effort to sing, it was killing me, so I literally couldn’t sing at all, you know? <\/p>\n

\n“And that lasted for two, three months, along with just a myriad of other painful problems.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
