Due to the surgery, Bolton announced that he will be taking a break from touring to focus on his recovery. “I will be dedicating my time and energy to healing over the next few months, which unfortunately means I’ll have to temporarily step back from touring,” the singer explained. “It is always the hardest thing for me to cancel a show or disappoint my fans, but please know that I’m doing everything I can to recover quickly and get back to performing as soon as possible.”
