By Rachel DeSantis, People | Michael Bolton is living life one day at a time in the wake of his brain cancer diagnosis. The Grammy-winning singer, 72, was diagnosed with glioblastoma in December 2023 — and in his first interview since, Bolton and his daughters reveal to PEOPLE that he has not been given a prognosis, as they’re choosing instead to remain hopeful.
“Our doctor told us that he has patients with glio that he has for 10 years,” Bolton’s daughter Holly tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story. “In my mind that’s my dad.”
The “How Am I Supposed to Live Without You?” singer finished chemotherapy and radiation treatments in October and is now in what his doctors call a “survivorship” stage. The path forward is all about monitoring, as the recurrence rate is 90 percent. Bolton goes for MRIs every two months to ensure his tumor has not returned, and his most recent scan, taken in early April, was clear.
