Michael Bolton has just given fans an update on his health, after revealing that he had been diagnosed with a brain tumor at the end of 2023.

The 71-year-old “When a Man Loves a Woman” singer told fans in January 2024 that he had undergone emergency surgery to remove the tumor, and would be taking a break from performing while he recovered from it.

The legendary singer-songwriter told fans in March 2024 that he was “healing well” following the surgery and was “doing better every day.” However, he took to social media last week to tell fans that he is taking a little longer to recover from the surgery, and unfortunately had to cancel his upcoming show in London.

The Grammy-winner was due to perform at the O2 Arena in London on July 5th, 2025, with none other than Bonnie Tyler as a special guest. However, he told fans last week that the show is no longer going ahead, as he wants to spend more time recovering from the surgery.

"Today we are announcing the cancellation of my July 5th concert at the O2 Arena in London," the "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" singer wrote on Instagram on Friday, February 7th. "You all know how much I was looking forward to this show but I am continuing to heal from surgery," he continued.

He went on to say: "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. Your tickets will be automatically refunded."

On March 31st, 2024, the "To Love Somebody" singer updated fans following his surgery. "I am healing well and doing better every day," he revealed. "I've been enjoying the company of my daughters and grandkids during this time at home, and practicing on my putting green whenever it's not raining!" he continued, adding: "Thank you all so much for all the kind messages and I hope to see you very soon!"

"Praise God! My prayers are with you and your family!" exclaimed one fan in the comments. "Prayers for a speedy recovery. Miss your beautiful voice," wrote a second supportive fan, as a third commented: "Praying for you, love your beautiful songs, voice! Please take care of yourself."

"Thanks to my incredible medical team, the surgery was a success," he continued, adding: "I am now recuperating at home and surrounded by the tremendous love and support of my family."
