Michael Bolton spent some quality time with his kids and grandchildren in honor of his 72nd birthday.
“Spending my birthday filled with love and gratitude,” the singer wrote via Facebook on Wednesday, February 26. “Wishing you all the same, today & everyday!”
In addition to the sweet message, Bolton included a photo of him with two of his daughters, Holly and Taryn. Three of Bolton’s granddaughters were also present for the family snap. The girls gathered around their grandpa and smiled for the camera. Bolton’s third daughter, Isa, was not featured in the pic. (Bolton shares his children with ex-wife Maureen McGuire.)
In the snap, the room was decked out with gold decorations including a banner that read “Happy Birthday” and balloons were scattered across the room. As Bolton sat at the head of the table, a plate of what appeared to be vanilla cake with white icing was placed in front of him.
Michael Bolton Shares Rare Pic 1 Year After Brain Tumor Diagnosis
Bolton’s birthday celebration comes weeks after announcing that he had to cancel his performance in London, which was scheduled for this summer. The musician shared that the cancellation was due to his recovery from emergency surgery for a brain tumor.
“You all know how much I was looking forward to this show but I am continuing to heal from surgery,” he announced via his Instagram Story earlier this month. “Thank you for all your love and positive energy over this past year. I am so grateful to have the most supportive fans in the world.”
In January 2024, Bolton announced that he was diagnosed with a brain tumor and had to get surgery immediately.
“I want to start by wishing everyone a very happy and healthy new year! I also want to share that 2023 ended up presenting me with some very unexpected challenges,” Bolton wrote via Facebook on Friday, January 5. “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.”
As he focused on his recovery, the “When a Man Loves a Woman” singer shared that he would be taking a break from performing as he focused on his health.

“For the next couple of months, I will be devoting my time and energy to my recovery which means I’ll have to take a temporary break from touring,” he explained. “It is always the hardest thing for me to ever disappoint my fans or postpone a show, but have no doubt I am working hard to accelerate my recovery and get back to performing soon.”
While Bolton has been taking it easy physically, his family has been by his side. He spent quality time with his daughters and grandkids during the 2024 holiday season.
“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,” Bolton shared via Facebook in December 2024 alongside a photo of him and his family in matching Christmas pajamas. “Here’s to fresh starts and beautiful moments in 2025!”
