Grammy Award-winning singer Michael Bolton was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a fast-growing type of brain cancer, in December 2023. He had underwent an emergency surgery to remove the tumor and then had a second surgery in January 2024 to treat an infection. He also received radiation and chemotherapy.
Now, two years after the diagnosis which the family described as “overwhelming” and “devastating,” Bolton’s daughters, Isa and Taryn, who take care of their father along with their sister Holly, provided an update on the singer’s health.
According to them, Michael Bolton is in “very good spirits and very good health.”
“He has a lot of challenges, and we do have great days and some tough days, but in general, he’s very strong. His mobility and cognition have been terrific. So, we’re in a really good place right now,” Isa, 50, told the AARP in a December 19 interview.
“He’s generally in a really good mood and just like excited for the day,” Taryn added.
The When a Man Loves a Woman singer shared that his daughters’ support “means more than I could ever put into words.”
“My daughters have been constant in a way that grounds me,” Bolton said. “On the harder days, they help me stay centered; on the lighter ones, they bring out the laughter that makes everything feel possible again. They remind me of who I am and what’s worth fighting for.”
He added he feels “deeply grateful” to be surrounded by his family amid his battle with the disease.
“This past year has tested me in ways I never imagined, but it’s also made me more aware of the moments that fill life with meaning: having meals with my family, hearing my grandkids laugh, stepping outside on a beautiful day and just taking it in,” he explained.
According to People, Bolton undergoes MRIs every two months to ensure his tumor has not returned, and his April scan was clear.
