Bruce Springsteen Sings Emotional Duet with Wife Patti in Homecoming Performance at Sea.Hear.Now Music Festival

Bruce Springsteen invited his wife Patti Scialfa to the stage to sing “Tougher Than the Rest” during his headlining set at the New Jersey festival

Bruce Springsteen shared an emotional moment with his beloved Jersey girl, wife Patti Scialfa, last night.

The Boss returned to his Jersey Shore roots to headline the Sea.Hear.Now music festival in Asbury Park on Sunday, performing a nostalgic set of hits to close out the two-night event in his spiritual hometown.

The 74-year-old rocker’s jam with his E Street Band on the festival’s main stage, situated on the sand just several feet from the Atlantic Ocean, was a highly anticipated show for fans of the New Jersey legend — who’s become synonymous with the Asbury Park music scene since the 1970s.

At one point during his three-hour-and-15-minute set, Springsteen introduced Scialfa — a member of his legendary band since 1984 — to the stage to duet “Tougher Than the Rest,” a symbolic song choice in the wake of her recently revealed health challenges.
