Patti Scialfa, Bruce Springsteen’s wife and member of the E Street Band, revealed she has been battling cancer for several years. In the new documentary *Rock Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band*, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 8, Scialfa shared her diagnosis of multiple myeloma in 2018.

“This affects my immune system, so I have to be careful what I choose to do and where I choose to go,” Scialfa said. Though she occasionally joins her husband on stage, she’s made the decision to step back from touring.
