People

In December 2023, Michael Bolton got the news that no one wants to hear. He was told that he had a brain tumor, and he immediately underwent surgery to remove it.

The good news was that doctors were able to remove it all. The bad news is that it is glioblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer.

Even though doctors got it all, he spent the next ten months getting chemotherapy and radiation.

He told People that due to those treatments, his short-term memory, speech, and mobility have been impacted. To counteract that, the 72-year-old spends time with his three daughters and six grandchildren in Westport, Connecticut, meditates daily, golfs as much as he can, works with personal trainers, and uses a voice therapist to regain his voice.

“I find comfort in general more easily. [The whole experience] gives me a heightened sense of appreciation. It’s unthinkable for it to be okay not to make the most of your life,” he told the magazine. “I think we develop capabilities and problem management, and we learn how to make the best out of a bad situation. You have to be a cheerleader for yourself.”

Since this form of cancer has a 90% recurrence rate, he has to get tested every two months to see if it has returned. Thankfully, he is still cancer-free.

But he knows there is a chance it could return. Because of that, “I want to keep going. I feel there’s still a lot to do on the fight side,” he says. “I got a title for a song: ‘Ain’t Going Down Without a Fight.’” I pray he gets to record that song and perform it live for his fans.

Michael Bolton ended 2023 on a bad note. The singer underwent surgery to remove a brain tumor. He spent all of last year recovering from the operation, and he is still healing. So much so that he announced yesterday that he will be cancelling his July 5th concert at the O2 Arena in London.

“You all know how much I was looking forward to this show but I am continuing to heal from surgery,” he wrote. “Thank you for all your love and positive energy over this past year. I am so grateful to have the most supportive fans in the world.”

Bolton shared his only photo of 2024 over Christmas. Although he looked well, but he also did not look to be his old self.

Hopefully, he will continue to recover and be back on the road in no time delighting people with his soulful voice.

Michael Bolton shares his first photos since his brain tumor

Last Christmastime, Michael Bolton announced that he underwent surgery for a brain tumor and would take some time off to recover.

That was a year ago, and we have not seen the singer since. However, over the Christmas holiday, he shared two photos with his family. In those photos, the Grammy winner is looking healthy. That could be why he wrote, “Here’s to fresh starts and beautiful moments in 2025!”

Hopefully, we will have plenty of those from him because he and his music bring so much joy.

Michael Bolton is getting a picture book
November 26th, 2024 under Michael Bolton. [ Comments: none ]

Have you been wondering what to get your grandmother for her birthday next year? Now, you have an option. In February, powerHouse Books is releasing Michael Bolton. It is a book filled with nearly 40 years of photos of the singer.

In 1987, celebrity photographer Timothy White got a call from American musician Michael Bolotin’s (now Bolton) record company asking him to work on a photo shoot. When Bolton came over to his studio, Timothy was struck by his calm persona, dry wit, and superb sense of humor. The two immediately hit it off. The resulting full-of-life photographs that captured Bolton’s charisma and charm marked the start of not only a professional but also a personal relationship that would come to establish Bolton’s visual legacy and identity.

The handpicked photos follow Bolton from his long curly locks to the short haircut he has now.

The pictures are an intimate look into his life showing us a side of him we never see.

We will also read quotes throughout the book about him from people like Dolly Parton and Rihanna.

Michael Bolton is available to pre-order now here.

Back in January, Michael BoltonBo announced that he had successful surgery to remove a brain tumor and that he was taking off some time to recuperate. Since then, we have not seen the singer.

Today, someone tweeted that there were several police cars outside of his Westport, Connecticut, home, and people were concerned for his health. That concern prompted him to respond, “All is good!! Just prepping for a small landscape project thanks for checking!”

Hopefully, that project will go well, and we will be able to hear his soothing voice again.
