Rock legend Bruce Springsteen has announced the postponement of his 2025 tour dates with the E Street Band to focus on his wife, Patti Scialfa, who is battling a serious illness. The unexpected decision has left fans both concerned and supportive as the 74-year-old musician prioritizes family during this difficult time.
Springsteen’s team released a statement confirming that all upcoming tour dates have been put on hold. The statement read: “Bruce has decided to step away from touring at this time to be with Patti as she undergoes treatment. He appreciates the love and support from fans and looks forward to returning to the stage when the time is right.”
Patti Scialfa, Springsteen’s wife of over three decades and a longtime member of the E Street Band, has been privately dealing with health struggles. Reports indicate that she has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer that affects plasma cells in the bone marrow. While she has made limited appearances on tour in recent years, her condition has now led Springsteen to step back entirely.
This marks the second major postponement for Springsteen and the E Street Band in recent years. In 2023, he had to reschedule concerts due to complications from peptic ulcer disease, which required ongoing treatment. Fans had been looking forward to his full return in 2025, but his wife’s health has understandably taken precedence.
The Springsteen camp has assured ticket holders that rescheduled dates will be announced later, and all previously purchased tickets will remain valid. Many fans have taken to social media to send well wishes to the couple, showing their unwavering support.
As one of the most enduring names in rock, Springsteen’s absence will be deeply felt, but his decision reinforces the importance of family above all. For now, the world waits and hopes for both Patti Scialfa’s recovery and Springsteen’s eventual return to the stage.
