In a heartfelt message to fans on Friday, the beloved singer said he was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor and will be taking a break from the stage.

Thanks to my amazing medical team, the surgery was a success,” the 70-year-old singer wrote on Facebook. “I am now recovering at home and surrounded by the overwhelming love and support of my family.”
The Grammy winner also told fans that he will be “dedicating” the “next few months” to his recovery and taking a “temporary break” from touring.

“We looked at our friends and family and saw that they all really needed a little light, it was so dark and oppressive and we were actually all carrying layers of fear into each day,” he said of finding inspiration through the pandemic. . “And so we started to feel a responsibility to deliver hope and promise and all these feelings that seem so elusive, and it started to become a feel-good record.”
After a decade in the industry, Bolton also said he found the most joy in his family life. (He is the father of daughters Isa, Holly and Taryn — whom he shares with ex-wife Maureen — and the grandfather of six grandchildren.)

Admitting he took himself a little “too seriously” in his early days, Bolton said he’s learned to turn to humor and enjoy life more.
“The fun starts happening when you let things go… I don’t feel like I’m close to slowing down yet,” he said at the time.
