Michael Bolton, a well-known performer, detailed a significant health condition he experienced during the holidays and confirmed that he underwent brain tumor surgery. The When a Man Loves a Woman singer wrote on social media at the end of last week, “I’d like 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 elaborated: “It was found that I had a brain tumor just before the holidays, which required immediate surgery.” The procedure proceeded smoothly, thanks to the incredible effort of my medical team. I’m currently recovering at home with my family’s everlasting love and support.” Bolton added that he will now take a break to recover in the comfort of his own home following the treatment. Unfortunately, this will disrupt his upcoming tour itinerary.

“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 performer told reporters. “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, the majority of fans who took the time to make comments on the page felt sad for Bolton and his unexpected, abrupt circumstance. With over 75 million records sold, the American singer is best known for her hits like 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 set to begin a new tour in February, stopping in Switzerland, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. We wish Michael Bolton a speedy recovery!
