Frail Michael Bolton seen in rare family pH๏τo on his 72nd birthday amid brain cancer battle

Michael Bolton shared a rare family pH๏τo following his shock brain tumor diagnosis.

The Grammy-winning singer celebrated his 72nd birthday on Wednesday and marked the special occasion with a pH๏τo of his children and grandchildren.

He took to Facebook to share the snapsH๏τ of him with his family as they sat at their dining table in a room full of festive decorations.

‘Spending my birthday filled with love and graтιтude,’ he wrote in his caption alongside the picture. ‘Wishing you all the same, today & everyday!’

His birthday celebration comes just weeks after he canceled his upcoming London concert as he continues to recover from brain surgery amid his cancer battle. 

The hitmaker looked frail in a polo shirt and tucked a pair of black-framed glᴀsses into the collar of his top. He had a sweet smile on his face as his family circled around him.

A slice of birthday cake was placed in front of him and a birthday banner was strung up in the background. 

Two of his adult daughters, Holly and Taryn, were present in the snapsH๏τ alongside three of his granddaughters. 

Bolton’s third daughter Isa was not featured in the pH๏τo. 

In late 2023, Bolton was diagnosed with brain cancer, which required him to undergo ‘immediate surgery.’

In January 2024, he shared a candid Facebook post with his fans and shared a health update. 

‘I want to start by wishing everyone a very happy and healthy new year! I also want to share that 2023 ended up presenting me with some very unexpected challenges,’ he wrote.

‘Just before the holidays, it was discovered that I had a brain tumor, which required immediate surgery,’ he continued.

With hope and optimism, Bolton added: ‘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.’ 

At the time, the musician said that he ‘will be devoting my time and energy to my recovery’ and will ‘take a temporary break from touring.’ 

‘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.’ 

Earlier this month, he canceled his performance in London, which was originally scheduled for the summer. 

He explained that the cancellation was due to his recovery from emergency surgery for a brain tumor. 

‘You all know how much I was looking forward to this show but I am continuing to heal from surgery,’ he announced on his Instagram Story earlier this month. 

‘Thank you for all your love and positive energy over this past year. I am so grateful to have the most supportive fans in the world.’
