E Street Band’s Patti Scialfa reveals cancer diagnosis

E Street Band member Patti Scialfa, who’s married to frontman Bruce Springsteen, said a rare form of blood cancer is to blame for her inconsistent appearances with the group in recent years.

The revelation came Sunday night at the Toronto Film Festival where “Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band” premiered, according to Variety.

The 71-year-old New Jersey native said she was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2018. Multiple myeloma impacts the immune system.
