Springsteen and Scialfa: A Love Story Through Music and Milestones
Bruce Springsteen and his wife, Patti Scialfa, recently celebrated their 34th wedding anniversary. Scialfa, a member of Springsteen's E Street Band, took a break from the group due to her diagnosis of multiple myeloma, a rare blood cancer. The couple shared their anniversary with their children, Evan, Jessica, and Sam, and their granddaughter Lily. Their family is gearing up for a multigenerational album, with Sam and Evan lending their vocals to a track on the "Faithless" album, part of a project releasing old Springsteen tracks.
Friends, fans, and family congratulated the couple on their milestone anniversary on social media. Rita Wilson and Danny Clinch were among those who shared their well wishes. Springsteen and Scialfa's love story began in the mid-1970s when she auditioned to be a backup singer for the E Street Band. They officially joined forces in 1984, just before the Born in the USA tour. Their bond grew stronger during the Tunnel of Love tour rehearsals, leading to their engagement on a park bench in New York City.
The couple reminisced about their early days, with Marianne Faithfull's "Trouble In Mind" serving as the soundtrack to their budding romance. Springsteen and Scialfa would listen to the song on their drives back from the city, lost in their love. They credited Marianne Faithfull as their guardian angel during that time. The Springsteens' enduring love story is a testament to their deep connection and shared passion for music.
