Isa said the singer was still touring and performing around the world right up to December 2023 when he received the diagnosis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The diagnosis came after the Grammy winner suffered a fall and showed other concerning symptoms such as memory loss, random headaches and falling out of his chair.<\/p>\n

Bolton had two surgeries on his brain and underwent both radiation and chemotherapy treatment.<\/p>\n

Isa said her father stopped performing and has remained at home to focus on his healing.<\/p>\n

Bolton is lovingly cared for by daughters, Isa, Taryn and Holly.<\/p>\n

Bolton undergoes MRI exams every two months to monitor his brain and to check the tumour has not returned, according to People.<\/p>\n

The Glioblastoma Foundation said the disease has a recurrence rate of 90%.<\/p>\n

Bolton\u2019s daughters described the different role each plays in his care.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe each help to honour him in various ways,\u201d Isa said in the AARP interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of us, for instance, is very fastidious in making sure that all of the daily care\u2026 The Is are dotted and the Ts are crossed.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of us is worrying more about companionship and his spirits and what type of mood he\u2019s in. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then we\u2019re all kind of collectively working on managing various business and professional aspects that need to be taken care of day to day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"SoulSoul singer Michael Bolton had a top 20 hit in New Zealand in 1993 with ‘Said I Loved You… But I Lied’.<\/p>\n

The Daily Mail said the sisters acknowledged they had experienced \u201ccaregiver fatigue\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pressure, the burden is overwhelming sometimes,\u201d Isa said.<\/p>\n

Taryn added, \u201cIt\u2019s important to be good to yourself so that you can give the best care to your loved ones\u201d.<\/p>\n

The sisters said they had shared more meals with him in the last two years than in their whole lives.<\/p>\n

The How Am I Supposed To Live Without You singer said in a statement to AARP: \u201cThis past year has tested me in ways I never imagined. My daughters have been constant in a way that grounds me\u201d.<\/p>\n

In an interview with People in April, \u201cI want to keep going, I feel there\u2019s still a lot to do on the fight side\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got a title for a song: \u2018Ain\u2019t Going Down Without a Fight\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Isa said the singer was still touring and performing around the world right up to December 2023 when…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":362831,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[9490,197486,10960,64,63,21677,139907,197485,1362,1617,447,502,197487,180415,197488,15618,134,38022,20719,164282,19927,16804,53645,45955,8045,101410,3605,32388],"class_list":["post-362830","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-after","tag-aggressive","tag-as","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-being","tag-bolton","tag-boltons","tag-brain","tag-cancer","tag-celebrities","tag-children","tag-crooner","tag-daughters","tag-diagnosed","tag-doing","tag-entertainment","tag-fights","tag-glioblastoma","tag-iconic","tag-michael","tag-open","tag-singer","tag-soul","tag-up","tag-well","tag-with","tag-years"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/362830","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=362830"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/362830\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/362831"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=362830"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=362830"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=362830"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
