The popstar, Grammy winner and who has sold more than 75 million records worldwide, announced that he had undergone an 'immediate surgical operation', immediately after the diagnosis arrived on the eve of Christmas, and that he is now 'recovering' from the complex operation. Bolton also announced that he will take a break from live performances, cancelling tours and concerts scheduled at least for the first part of 2024.

The Announcement

'I want to start by wishing everyone a happy and healthy new year! I also want to share that 2023 has ended up presenting me with some really unexpected challenges - writes the singer who achieved great success in the late '80s with 'The Hunger' and 'Soul Provider' - Just before the holidays, it was discovered that I had a brain tumor, which required immediate surgery. Thanks to my incredible medical team, the operation was a success. Now I am recovering at home and surrounded by the enormous love and support of my family'.

'For the next two months - continues Bolton - I will dedicate time and energy to my recovery, which means that I will have to take a temporary break from the tour.

I am more than grateful for all the love and support you have generously shown me over the years. Know that I keep your positive messages in my heart, and as soon as possible I will update you.
