AceShowbiz - Michael Bolton, the 71-year-old legendary singer known for his soulful voice and timeless hits, has recently shared an emotional and uplifting holiday message. On December 25, Bolton took to Facebook to post a festive picture with his family, marking nearly a year since he was diagnosed with a brain tumor and underwent surgery just before the previous holiday season.

In the heartwarming photo, Bolton is seen sitting on a couch with four loved ones, including his three daughters, Isa, Holly, and Taryn, whom he shares with ex-wife Maureen McGuire.

Bolton's festive spirit was evident as he donned a Santa hat and a red-and-white Grinch shirt under a black sweater, covered with a light blue holiday-themed blanket adorned with presents, snowmen, and Christmas trees. His daughters wore matching pajama tops, adding to the cozy and joyful atmosphere.

Bolton's caption for the photo was equally heartwarming, "Sending warm wishes for a holiday season filled with peace, love, and joy. May the New Year bring health, happiness, and countless moments to cherish. Here's to fresh starts and beautiful moments in 2024!"

The past year has been particularly trying for Bolton. In January, he revealed to fans that he had been diagnosed with a brain tumor, which required immediate surgery.

"Just before the holidays, it was discovered that I had a brain tumor, which required immediate surgery. Thanks to my incredible medical team, the surgery was a success," he wrote on Facebook. Bolton assured fans he would be "devoting" the next couple of months to his recovery and taking a "temporary break" from touring.

Despite his health challenges, Bolton remains optimistic about the future. In July 2023, he shared a light-hearted moment with People magazine, recounting how his grandchildren poke fun at his iconic long hair from the '80s and '90s.

"There's a birthday card where you have to pull my head out of this cake, and then I sing 'Happy Birthday.' One of my grandchildren saw it in the store and said, 'How is G-pa getting so famous?' " he said, reflecting on how his family keeps him grounded.

In August, fans were alarmed when several police cars were spotted at Bolton's Connecticut home. Bolton quickly reassured everyone, stating, "All is good!! Just prepping for a small landscape project. Thanks for checking!"

However, in October, he had to cancel several concerts, explaining that he was "just not quite 100% yet" and still on the "road to recovery." He shared that while the progress has been good, he needs more time to build back his full strength and stamina.

As of now, Michael Bolton is set to make his return to the stage in July 2025 with a performance at the O2 Arena in London. While fans eagerly await his return, they can take comfort in knowing that Bolton's journey of recovery is ongoing, supported by the unwavering love and support of his family and fans.
