Bruce Springsteen speaking at the official dedication/ribbon-cutting event for The Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music on June 6, 2026:

"On my personal note, I gotta thank my beautiful wife of thirty-five years... I love you, baby... Without her, so much of this simply would not exist. Her love, her talent, her patience, her support... are essential to everything I do and that I have done. She is my heart, my soul. She has struggled, and she is my hero... and my favorite E Street Band member."

Happy Birthday, and many, many more, Patti! We love you, your talent, and your heroism, as well, on and off E Street.
