Singer-songwriter Michael Bolton treated for brain tumor

January 6 (UPI) – Singer-songwriter Michael Bolton revealed on social media that he underwent treatment for a brain tumor last month.

“First, I want to wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year! I also want to share that 2023 has presented me with some very unexpected challenges. Just before the holidays, it was discovered that I have a brain tumor that required immediate surgery,” Bolton posted on Friday.

“Thanks to my incredible medical team, the surgery was a success. I am now recovering at home and surrounded by the tremendous love and support of my family. Over the next few months, I will be devoting my time and energy to my recovery, which means taking a temporary break from touring,” he added. “It is always the hardest thing for me to disappoint my fans or postpone a show, but I am undoubtedly working hard to speed up my recovery and return to performing soon. I am beyond grateful for all the love and support you have so generously shown me over the years.”

The 70-year-old Grammy winner released two albums – Spark of Light And Christmas time — in 2023.

He is best known for his hits “How Am I Supposed to Live Without You”, “How Can We Be Lovers”, “When a Man Loves a Woman”, “Time, Love and Tenderness” and “Said I Loved You But I Lied”.
