Michael Bolton’s daughters share a health update amid the singer’s brain cancer battle

Michael Bolton’s daughters have shared a positive update on his life as the singer continues to battle glioblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer.

The 72-year-old two-time Grammy Award winner previously revealed that he was diagnosed with glioblastoma in December 2023 after emergency surgery which led to doctors removing Bolton’s brain tumor in its entirety.

Bolton underwent a second brain operation in January 2024 following an infection and completed radiation and chemotherapy in October of that year. She now has MRIs every two months to make sure her tumor hasn’t returned, as glioblastoma has a high recurrence rate.

In a recent interview with AARP, Bolton’s three daughters, Isa, Holly and Taryn, who have become his primary caregivers, shed some light on his battle with cancer.

“We are proud and happy to inform anyone who was interested in following [our Dad’s] that he has a very good spirit and is in good health,” Isa told the outlet.

“He has many challenges, and we have good days and hard days, but in general, he is very strong,” he added. “His movement and his understanding have been very good. So, we’re in a really good place now.”

In an email to AARP, the “When a Man Loves a Woman” singer shared that she “feels deeply grateful” and cherished the time she spent with her family, including her daughters and six grandchildren.

“This past year has tested me in ways I never imagined, but it also made me aware of the moments that fill life with meaning: eating with my family, hearing my grandchildren laugh, going outside on a beautiful day and just going inside,” said Bolton.

According to AARP, Isa, Holly and Taryn have each taken on important caregiving responsibilities, including helping with Bolton’s daily care, providing emotional support and coordinating his medical and occupational needs while focusing on his health.

Taryn and her daughters live with Bolton full-time at his home in Westport, Connecticut, where he has lived for more than 30 years. Isa spends three days a week in the house, often accompanied by her sons, while Holly – who lives in California and is a mother of one – travels every month for a week to help with the handicrafts.

Bolton told AARP that having his daughters by his side during his cancer battle and recovery “means more than I could ever say.”

“My daughters have always been the way to strengthen me,” he said. “On hard days, they help me stay focused; on easy days, they bring out laughter that makes everything seem possible again. They remind me who I am and what I have to fight for.”

Isa explained that she and her sister came together following Bolton’s diagnosis and worked as a team to protect his privacy.

“Most families – most people – will be able to rely on friends and family, to hold them and support them and take care of them,” she said. “We became a very small island.”

Isa admitted that caring for Bolton through his cancer journey has been a challenge at times for his family. He recalled that the “How Should I Live Without You” hitmaker had a “big personality change” after brain surgery.

At that time, Isa remembered that her youngest son told her, “I’m afraid of G-Pa.” However, he told AARP that the personality change, a common side effect of brain surgery, was temporary. He said that after practicing yoga and physical therapy as part of his recovery plan, Bolton recovered his usual “funny” personality.

“Boys are more relaxed, but I think some kids might be scared and disturbed by those changes and they should be aware,” she said.

Isa explained that her connection to Bolton had changed after she became one of his guardians.

“Evolving relationships change a lot,” she said. “You have the opportunity to face things that were challenging and realize that you don’t have to be put in the position that you might have put yourself in in a relationship. You can redefine the relationship in a new way.”

“Thank you, from the bottom of my heart,” she told her fans in an email to AARP.

“Your messages, prayers, kindness … reached me when I needed it most,” Bolton continued. “It’s amazing how a few words from someone you’ve never met can lift your spirits and strengthen your steps. It reminds me that we are all connected, and none of us go through life’s challenges alone.”
