Bruce Springsteen Announces Wife Patti Scialfa's Remission from Multiple Myeloma
Bruce Springsteen has announced that his wife, Patti Scialfa, is in remission from multiple myeloma, a rare type of blood cancer. Scialfa, who has been a member of the E Street Band since 1984, was diagnosed with the disease in 2018. The announcement was made public on July 31, with Springsteen expressing relief and gratitude for her remission. Multiple myeloma affects plasma cells in the bone marrow, leading to a range of health complications. Scialfa has been managing her condition by being cautious about her activities and exposure to potential infections, given the impact of the disease on her immune system. Despite her health challenges, she occasionally joins Springsteen on stage, which she describes as a treat.
