Nobody knew that Michael Bolton was having brain tumour, that is until he revealed it on social media following his surgery.

On 6 January, the “When a Man Loves a Woman” singer posted a statement on Instagram, saying that he discovered that he had brain tumor just before the holidays, which required immediate surgery.

“Thanks to my incredible medical team, the surgery was a success. I am now recuperating at home and surrounded by the tremendous love and support of my family,” he added.

Bolton also stated that he will be devoting his time and energy to his recovery in the next couple of months, which meant that he will be taking a temporary break from touring.
