Singer Michael Bolton Reveals Brain Tumor; Will Step Back From Touring
Michael Bolton has announced he is taking a break from touring after doctors recently discovered the singer had a brain tumor.
Bolton announced Friday on Facebook that the tumor was discovered just before the holidays. Immediate surgery was required.
The post said the surgery was a "success," and the Grammy Award-winner is now recuperating at home.
"For the next couple of months, I will be devoting my time and energy to my recovery which means I'll have to take a temporary break from touring," the 70-year-old Bolton reveled in the post. "It is always the hardest thing for me to ever disappoint my fans or postpone a show, but have no doubt I am working hard to accelerate my recovery and get back to performing soon."
According to MichaelBolton.com, his next tour date was scheduled for Feb. 4 in Clearwater, Florida.
