Bruce Springsteen has turned to cyberspace to deny rumors that he and wife Patti Scialfa are splitting up.
In a note on his official Web site, www.brucespringsteen.net, the New Jersey-born rocker writes that he and Scialfa are still committed to each other.
"Due to the unfounded and ugly rumors that have appeared in the papers over the last few days, I felt they shouldn't pass without comment," he wrote. "Patti and I have been together for 18 years — the best 18 years of my life. We have built a beautiful family we love and want to protect and our commitment to one another remains as strong as the day we were married."
Quoting unnamed sources, the New York Post reported Thursday that Springsteen's and Scialfa's marriage was on the rocks due to his relationship with a Sept. 11 widow he met while organizing a charity event.
Springsteen, 56, and Scialfa, a backup singer in his band, married in 1991 and have three children. He had previously been married to actress Julianne Phillips.
The 53-year-old Scialfa has toured with Springsteen and the E Street Band and has recorded two albums.
A phone message left after hours for Springsteen's publicist was not immediately returned Monday night.
Thank goodness! /sarcsm
From what I read in the NY Post Bruce hasn't been seen with his wife in over a year. That doesn't sound like a loving marriage to me.
Hope his marriage is strong...'cause his mind is weak.
for a 9/11 widow?.....paging Ann Coulter
The boss: overrated and utterly forgettable.
IOW, the divorce will be announced in a couple of weeks.
That's great Bruce. Now, where's Patti? Can we ask her a few questions?
"Patti and I have been together for 18 years — the best 18 years of my life."
...and then thought to himself...
"...the best 18 years of anonymous mattress-dancing I've ever had. Oh, and Mick Jagger? He's my idol." ;')
Like I care about Bruce
Well, it is not that I really care, but as the initial post about the "treason"(http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1689501/posts) got about 7,000 views, i thought this new "developpment" could also be a "hit"
The plagiarizer Springsteen still makes news?
