Michael Bolton, 70, recovering after undergoing “immediate surgery” for brain tumor

The When a Man Loves a Woman singer posted on social media towards the end of last week, saying, “I want to start by wishing everyone a very happy and healthy new year!

“I also want to share that I faced some really unexpected challenges in 2023.”

He said, “It was found that I had a brain tumor just before the holidays, which required immediate surgery.”

The procedure went well, much to the amazing work of my medical team. I am currently recovering at home with my family’s unwavering love and support.”

Bolton clarified that he will now be taking a break to recuperate in the comfort of his own home due to the procedure. That will, regrettably, affect his forthcoming tour schedule.

“I will be dedicating my time and energy to my recovery for the next few months, which means I’ll have to take a temporary break from touring,” the singer stated.

“It is always the hardest thing for me to ever cancel a show or disappoint my fans, but rest assured that I am making every effort to speed up my recuperation and return to performing as soon as possible.”

Naturally, most of the admirers who took the time to leave comments on the page felt sorry for Bolton and his unanticipated, abrupt situation.

With over 75 million records sold, the American singer is most recognized for her classics, which include Said I Loved You, When a Man Loves a Woman, and How Am I Supposed to Live Without You. However, I lied.

The 70-year-old was scheduled to start a new tour in February, with stops in Switzerland, the US, the UK, and Canada.
