Michael Bolton Recovers After Glioblastoma Surgery

Michael Bolton, 72, was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer, in December 2023 after experiencing nausea and instability. He underwent emergency surgery to remove the entire tumor, followed by a second operation in January 2024 due to a post-operative infection. Bolton completed radiation and chemotherapy by October, and his most recent MRI scan in April showed no recurrence of the tumor. The treatments have affected his short-term memory, speech, and mobility, but he credits meditation, physical therapy, and the support of his family for aiding his recovery. Bolton has paused touring to focus on recovery but is committed to returning to music. He remains optimistic, emphasizing resilience, the importance of family, and hopes his story inspires others facing serious illness.
