Michael Bolton‘s behavior during a family outing played a role in his brain cancer diagnosis.
As the “When a Man Loves a Woman” singer’s daughter Taryn Bolotin recently recalled, the 72-year-old raised eyebrows when he began bowling out of turn in November 2023.
“That was when we were like, ‘Something’s wrong with his brain,'” the 45-year-old told People in an interview published April 30, noting that the incident was “super weird.”
According to Taryn, Michael exhibited additional symptoms throughout the night.
“He fell out of his chair to the left, which is very unusual. He’s super athletic, and he doesn’t drink,” Taryn said. “So he fell, and we were like, ‘What just happened?'”
With the addition of a “bad” headache he suffered during the same weekend, and an unusual bout of nausea and balance issues experienced during a mid-November performance at a charity event on Richard Branson‘s Necker Island, Michael’s symptoms were concerning enough to prompt him to go to the hospital and get an MRI, which ultimately showed he had a brain tumor.
