In a heartfelt update, Michael Bolton said he wouldn’t allow his aggressive brain cancer to kill him. On December 4, 2023, the legendary singer underwent emergency brain surgery and made the announcement to fans shortly after.

He claimed he would need time off to recover from the surgery and that neither he nor he would disclose whether the tumor was cancerous. Michael’s family members first learned of his illness when he struggled with balance and nausea while taking a vacation in Necker Island in 2023.

Bolton has been having mobility issues, short-term memory loss, and speech issues since receiving glioblastoma diagnosis. An aggressive form of cancer, known as glioblastoma, results from the growth of cells in the brain or spinal cord. There is no cure for cancer, despite the fact that treatment can lessen the symptoms and slow down the cancer’s growth.

The singer’s most recent scan earlier this month appeared to be clear after two operations and several rounds of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The singer said in a recent interview that “doing the challenge is not an option.” You are drawn into a duel very quickly. I suppose that’s how you discover what you’re made of.

He continued, “Whenever you find yourself in any kind of challenging position, knowing that you’re not alone going through it is a big deal.”

Michael was purposefully given no treatment for his condition while he was being treated. He said, “It teaches them that they are not alone.” He acknowledges that his health scare has given him a stronger sense of appreciation for life now that he has been given the clear. His daughter Holly discovered that he had started singing “within minutes” while recovering from his operation.

Holly, 47, told Bolton’s family how she was blown away by his voice despite being one of the biggest singers in the world. She explained that one nurse had no idea who she was treating.

Michael continued, saying that he “wants to keep going,” adding that “there is still a lot to do on the fight side.” Bolton stated on social media in January of last year, “Just before the holidays, it was discovered that I had a brain tumor that needed immediate surgery.”

The surgery was successful because of my incredible medical team. He was forced to cancel a concert earlier this year as he worked through his recovery, which had already been postponed from July the previous year.

After originally scheduled for July 2024, the concert was moved back to July 2025. It will celebrate his biggest hits.

The When a Man Loves a Woman singer posted the news on his Instagram account, letting fans know that my July 5th concert at the O2 Arena in London has been canceled.
