Michael Bolton undergoes surgery for a brain tumor

Singer Michael Bolton announced this Friday the cancellation of several concerts on his tour while he recovers from surgery to remove a brain tumor.

In a statement on social media, Bolton, 70, revealed that the tumor was discovered just before Christmas, after which he had to undergo emergency surgery, which was "a success."

"I am recovering at home, surrounded by the tremendous love and support of my family," the 'How Am I Supposed To Live Without You' singer wrote on Facebook.

His recovery is expected to take a few months, so Bolton will take "a temporary break" from concerts.

The singer was scheduled to perform starting February 1 on a tour of different cities in the United States, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, according to his website.

Bolton said he would provide more details as soon as possible.
