Bruce Springsteen, wife Patti Scialfa celebrate wedding anniversary
Bruce Springsteen, wife Patti Scialfa celebrate wedding anniversary Show Caption Hide Caption Bruce Springsteen's wife Patti Scialfa reveals cancer diagnosis Longtime E Street Band member and wife of Bruce Springsteen, Patti Scialfa, revealed she was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2018. The Springsteens are celebrating over three decades of love. Bruce Springsteen and wife Patti Scialfa celebrated their 34th wedding anniversary over the weekend. Scialfa, a member of Springsteen's E Street Band, has been on hiatus from the group since revealing she had been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a rare blood cancer. "Our one year anniversary … Bruce surprised me with a beautiful party," Scialfa wrote in a June 8 Instagram post alongside a photo of the couple sharing a kiss. Scialfa and Springsteen were married June 8, 1991, in Los Angeles. "Today marks 34 years … even though we already had Evan and Jess was on the way … spent the evening with Bruce (and) Sam and our granddaughter Lily," she continued. Scialfa and Springsteen share three children: Evan, 34; Jessica, 33; and Sam, 31. The family will soon notch another milestone: a multigenerational album. Sam and Evan are credited with contributing background vocals on the track "Where You're Going, Where You're From," part of the "Faithless" album, one piece of a two-part project that releases old Springsteen tracks from the vault. On Instagram, friends, fans and family congratulated the couple on their milestone. "Happy Anniversary!!!!!! We love you both!!!!!" commented Rita Wilson, an actress and wife to Tom Hanks. Longtime Springsteen photographer and concert promoter Danny Clinch laid down three heart emojis. "What a beautiful picture of the two of you! A very Happy Anniversary from us to you! Nicki & Garry," Nicky Germaine, the wife of E Street bassist Gary Tallent, wrote. Springsteen and Scialfa first met when she answered a newspaper ad in the mid-1970s for a female backup singer versed in 1960s girl groups. She had a tryout with the E Street Band, but did not end up joining the group until 1984 on the eve of the Born in the USA tour. When the two began to rehearse alone at her New York City apartment ahead of the subsequent Tunnel of Love tour, the line between bandmates and lovers began to blur. "I used to steal up there and sit on a park bench waiting for my gal to meet me with a six pack of beer," Springsteen said during a July 2020 broadcast of "Bruce Springsteen: From His Home, To Yours" on Sirius XM's E Street Radio channel. "We got engaged on that park bench," Scialfa added. Marianne Faithfull's "Trouble In Mind" was the theme of their budding romance, the couple revealed. "I used to drive you back from New York City after visiting me, and we would play that all the way back," Springsteen said. "That makes me think of your blue Camaro," Scialfa added, "and also you had an old Corvette, which was also blue. We would just play that, never talk. We were just in a daze of love." "Marianne Faithfull was our guardian angel in those days," Springsteen said. Contributing: Anna Kaufman, USA TODAY

Eric Church Defends Bruce Springsteen After President Trump Remarks, Says Political Parties Are ‘Total Bulls–t'
When Bruce Springsteen put the Donald Trump administration on blast at a concert in Manchester a few weeks ago, Eric Church was in the crowd. And in a new interview, the country star shared what he really thought of the moment that sparked a social media rampage led by the president against one of the country star's musical heroes. Speaking to Rolling Stone in an open-ended interview published Friday (June 6), Church made it clear that he thinks Springsteen — who made headlines for calling the White House 'corrupt, incompetent and treasonous' at his kickoff Land of Hope & Dreams Tour show in May — has the right 'to say and do what he wants.' More from Billboard Bruce Springsteen Drops 'Land of Hope & Dreams' EP Featuring Speech That Set Off President Trump The Weeknd Wanders Through Purgatory in 'Baptized in Fear' Music Video Miley Cyrus Says Madonna 'Was Down' to Mud Wrestle in a '4x4' Music Video, But Her Label Said No 'I respect the hell out of somebody having the balls to do something like that,' he told the publication. 'If you're Bruce Springsteen, at 75 years old, if that's what floats your boat, then you should do that. I was just ready to hear 'Chimes of Freedom.'' Regardless of whether you agree with Springsteen's comments, Church — who in 2011 paid tribute to the New Jersey rocker on Billboard Hot 100 No. 19 hit 'Springsteen' — added that he thinks the passion behind the moment only elevated the show itself. 'You could tell he wanted to get something off his chest,' said the 'Heart on Fire' artist. 'It added a little more, whatever that was … angst … and the show was fantastic. Best Springsteen show I've seen.' The topic of the E Street bandleader's viral speech came up as Church was discussing his thoughts on America's political landscape, which has been more fraught than ever since Trump returned to office in January. Following the Manchester show, the twice-impeached POTUS ranted on Truth Social that Springsteen was 'highly overrated,' 'dumb as a rock' and a 'dried out 'prune' of a rocker,' later lobbing long-debunked accusations that the 'Born in the U.S.A.' musician had participated in an 'illegal election scam' for Kamala Harris. Meanwhile, Americans' satisfaction with the economy under Trump has been dropping, while many people have been calling out the president's administration for working to slash funding for programs supporting reproductive healthcare, LGBTQ rights and more. But as the divide between Democrats and Republicans deepens, Church told Rolling Stone that he thinks pledging unconditional allegiance to any one political party is 'total bulls–t.' 'I have a problem with the political system where I believe things on both sides, but if I have to pick a party, it means that I can't believe some of those things,' he told the publication. 'If I'm a Republican or I'm a Democrat, I have to be all Republican or all Democrat, and there's no way those guys and girls believe that. There's no f–king way.' Even so, Church doesn't want to label himself as an 'independent. 'It sounds like I can't make up my mind,' he said. 'I bristle at that. But if you look at how broad these issues and topics are, I think there's a small percentage of Americans that truly believe in 100 percent of a party's platform. Most Americans go back and forth. I change my mind all the damn time.' The interview comes about a month after the release of Church's new album, Evangeline vs. the Machine, which debuted at No. 30 on the Billboard 200 in May. The North Carolina native also recently appeared on Morgan Wallen's chart-topping new album, I'm the Problem, guesting on the song 'Number 3 and Number 7,' which entered at No. 52 on the Hot 100 and No. 27 on the Hot Country Songs chart.

Bruce Springsteen's furious rant at UK gig as he calls out 'treasonous' Donald Trump
Rock icon Bruce Springsteen is still as fierce as ever as he took to the stage for the opening night of his 2025 Land of Hope and Dreams tour, and he took aim at the US government. The lights dim and the unmistakable chants of 'Bruce' reverberate throughout the packed venue. Thousands of fans, spanning generations, fill the electric atmosphere, erupting into cheers as a rock legend takes centre stage. It's unmistakable when The Boss is in town. Now 75, Bruce Springsteen's hair may be greyer, his wrinkles more defined, and his physique less rugged. Gone are the iconic sleeveless shirts and bandanas, replaced by a more refined waistcoat and tie. However, his determination to speak out against perceived injustices remains unwavering. The rock icon, renowned for his powerful and relatable lyrics, refuses to fade quietly into his later years. The opening night of his 2025 tour makes one thing clear - Bruce Springsteen is angry and frustrated with the state of his homeland. On a historic night for Manchester's Co-op Live arena, celebrating its first anniversary with its biggest star yet, the sold-out crowd quickly grasps Springsteen's message. After introducing the E Street band's mission to "call upon the righteous power of music, art and rock and roll in dangerous times", he greets the audience, saying: "Good Evening! It's great to be in Manchester and back in the UK. Welcome to the Land of Hope and Dreams Tour! "The mighty E St. Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock 'n roll in dangerous times. In my home, the America I love, the America I've written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration. "Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring!" It was fairly obvious who he was referring to. As the concert continued, the powerful anthem Land of Hope and Dreams, which is also the namesake of his 16-date European tour, resonated throughout the venue – a gospel-inspired ballad deeply cherished by his fans and embodying the optimism Springsteen calls forth from the audience, now amplified through his live performance. Springsteen, making an unmistakable statement, gesticulated emphatically towards the crowd, every guitar strum packed with added significance, and sang with a renewed fervour, his voice carrying the rough-edged timbre that has become a hallmark of his style over the years. Songs tinged with both fierce defiance and deep concern for his homeland started pouring out, one after another, showcasing that classic Springsteen might through songs like Death to My Hometown, Darkness on the Edge of Town and Promised Land. While a few fan favourites like 'Hungry Heart' and 'Murder Incorporated' are part of the opening set, Springsteen, a staunch Democrat known for his liberal views, remains vocal about his concerns for the USA. "The last check, the last check on power after the checks and balances of government have failed are the people, you and me," he declared. "It's in the union of people around a common set of values now that's all that stands between a democracy and authoritarianism. At the end of the day, all we've got is each other," he said before performing a solo version of 'House of A Thousand Guitars'. "There's some very weird, strange, and dangerous s**t going on out there right now. In America they are persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent. This is happening now." Springsteen went on: "In America the richest men are taking satisfaction in abandoning the world's poorest children to sickness and death. This is happening now. In my country they're taking sadistic pleasure in the pain they inflict on loyal American workers. "They're rolling back historic civil rights legislation that has led to a more just and plural society. They are abandoning our great allies and siding with dictators against those struggling for their freedom. "They are defunding American universities that won't bow down to their ideological demands. They are removing residents off American streets and without due process of law, are deporting them to foreign detention centers and prisons. This is all happening now." He added: "A majority of our elected representatives have failed to protect the American people from the abuses of an unfit president and a rogue government. They have no concern or idea for what it means to be deeply American. "The America I've sung to you about for 50 years is real and regardless of its faults is a great country with a great people. So we'll survive this moment." "Now, I have hope, because I believe in the truth of what the great American writer James Baldwin said, he said 'in this world there isn't as much humanity as one would like, but there's enough'. Let's pray." Not many stars could get away with a performance that focuses so heavily on a foreign country's politics, but Springsteen has long built his rock-and-roll image and dedicated fanbase around being unapologetically candid and honest, which simply adds to his charm in the eyes of his audience. Before the show, Springsteen shared that he still gets nervous, saying: "I'm always a little bit nervous on that first night, even after all this time," showing a humble side to his exceptional performance."
