In January, Michael Bolton disclosed his health condition to fans, stating he had been diagnosed with a brain tumor and required immediate surgery towards the end of 2023.

"Just before the holidays, it was discovered that I had a brain tumor, which required immediate surgery. Thanks to my incredible medical team, the surgery was a success," Bolton wrote on Facebook.

He mentioned taking a break from touring to focus on recovery. "I am now recuperating at home and surrounded by the tremendous love and support of my family," he added.
