In a previous interview, Bolton shared amusing anecdotes about his grandchildren’s reaction to his iconic long hairstyle from the ’80s and ’90s. While recognizing his fame, they remain unimpressed by celebrity, finding humor in a birthday card featuring his signature hair.
Following his surgery, Bolton announced his diagnosis and recovery plan on Facebook. He expressed gratitude for his medical team and the unwavering support of his family. Bolton acknowledged the difficulty of postponing shows and disappointing fans, emphasizing his commitment to a swift recovery and return to performing.

In August, a social media post caused concern among fans regarding police presence at Bolton’s Connecticut home. Bolton quickly clarified the situation, humorously attributing it to preparations for a landscaping project.
Due to his ongoing recovery, the singer canceled several concerts in October, explaining that he wasn’t fully recovered and needed more time to regain strength and stamina. He reassured fans about his progress and hinted at upcoming projects.
Bolton is scheduled to perform at the O2 in London in July 2025, according to his official website. His journey highlights the importance of family support and resilience in the face of health challenges.
