Diagnosed with multiple myeloma as she and her husband, Bruce Springsteen, were readying their Broadway show six years ago, Patti Scialfa is now talking about her experience in a documentary film that is getting a lot of attention at the Toronto International Film Festival, Road Diary.
“This affects my immune system so I just have to be careful what I choose to do and where I choose to go,” Scialfa, a member of the E Street Band for four decades, says, reaching an audience that is — post COVID — much more aware of immune system perils and risks than any audience would be six years ago, when she was diagnosed.
“Every once in a while, I come to a show or two and I can sing a few songs onstage, and that’s been a treat. That’s the new normal for me right now, and I’m OK with that.” Spoiler note: When she does make her rare appearances to sing on stage, and when they kiss — fire.
The social media account Spring-Nuts, specializing in being nuts about all things Springsteen, shared Scialfa’s reveal in the film and pleaded with people to use her humbling, humanizing experience as a reminder to practice kindness and respect for the travails of others — especially those troubles you are unaware of.
“Prayers for Patti,” Spring-Nuts writes to begin a long post. “Again you never know what’s going on behind the scenes and in peoples lives. And we speculate. BE KIND TO ALL.”
