Singer-songwriter Michael Bolton shared Friday that he was diagnosed with a brain tumor late last year, and he’ll be taking a break from performing to recover from surgery.

“2023 ended up presenting me with some very unexpected challenges. Just before the holidays, it was discovered that I had a brain tumor, which required immediate surgery,” he wrote in a message posted to Facebook and Instagram. “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.”
