Michael Bolton’s voice He has gone through the best and worst moments of his life. This voice helped him sell more than 75 million records and win two Grammy during his 50 -year career.

And after awakening from an emergency brain surgery on December 4, 2023, it served as a lighthouse of hope in uncertainty. “He was in the recovery in the hospital room and he was singing”remembers Holly’s daughter, 47 years old. “I remember one of the nurses had no idea who he was and he said, ” Do you know he is singing like that? ”

In the last one and a half years, Bolton’s daughters have been tested once again, as their 72 -year -old father has faced the greatest challenge he ever had: glioblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer.

‘You find the power in a way they will never think’Bolton says in an interview with the medium, whose memory, speech and mobility have been influenced by his treatments. “Sulning to the challenge is not an option. Really, you quickly get drifted into a duel. I guess this is the way you discover what you are made of. “

If the grace and humor with which he was diagnosed are an indication, Bolton is definitely a hard nut. He was diagnosed with glioblastoma in December 2023 after undergoing emergency surgery, in which doctors managed to remove a tumor in the brain as a whole.

He underwent a second surgery in the brain in January 2024 due to an infection, and since he completed radiation and chemotherapy treatment in October, he has been subjected to magnetic resonance imaging every two months to ensure that his tumor has not returned. Its most recent examination in early April was clear and the path to the future concerns only monitoring, as the recurrence rate of glioblastoma is about 90%, according to the glioblastoma institution.
