Bruce Springsteen Says He and Wife Patti Scialfa Often ‘Didn’t Expose’ Their Kids to Fame While They Were Growing Up


Bruce Springsteen reflected on how he and wife Patti Scialfa often 'didn’t expose' their three children to their fame, noting that they grew up 'all at a nice distance from the strangeness of my job.'

As Springsteen explained, their children "wanted to bring their friends" to their shows as they got older, but were still able to "chose their own lives," have "their own work" and find "their own partners and families" later on in life, "all at a nice distance from the strangeness of my job." The "Glory Days" singer also opened up about his bond with Scialfa in his latest interview, describing his wife of 33 years as "a very good songwriter" who "hasn’t got the credit due because she lives with a suck-all-the-air-out-of-the room attention w----." In August, Springsteen shut down retirement and farewell tour rumors when speaking to his crowd at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.
