Michael Bublé On Son’s Cancer Diagnosis: ‘Rocked My World’ And Changed ‘Priorities’

Singer Michael Bublé recently discussed how his son’s cancer diagnosis changed his life and priorities.

The 48-year-old Canadian crooner made the remarks during an appearance on the “Diary of a CEO” podcast. When host Steven Bartlett asked about a time when his priorities in life changed, Bublé recalled finding out his son, then three, had liver cancer.

“My son’s cancer diagnosis rocked my world,” Bublé said. “It pulled the curtain from over my eyes.”

“And that was a sledgehammer to my reality,” he continued. “And I will never be carefree and that’s okay. It is a privilege for me to exist and that pain, the fear, the suffering that comes with those sort of things is I guess it’s part of that beautiful, this life.”

The “Feeling Good” singer also talked about how he was going through tough times before his son’s diagnosis, but that moment helped put everything in perspective.

“I don’t think I had my priorities straight. I mean, my family was always my love, but I don’t think I was a terrible guy, but dude, it was blinders. Career. Ambition. How do I become the baddest, biggest, best. You know, more ego, more power, more money,” Bublé revealed.

He went on, “And on Halloween, however many years ago that was, dude it’s like life was lived with a curtain in front of me. Like a filter. And the moment that they said this is what’s happening, that reality hit me. Filter gone. And I mean, in a moment. In one moment. Gone. And I went, ‘Ok. This is it. This is life. This is it, this is what’s important.’”

The singer has four kids with wife Luisana Lopilato: Noah, 10, Elias, 7, Vida, 5, and Cielo, 15 months.

Noah was diagnosed with liver cancer in 2016 and has been in remission since 2017.

Bublé spoke previously about how the diagnosis changed him. “Listen, I am different,” he told People in 2018. “You don’t go through big things in your life, dramatic things like I’ve gone through or my wife has gone through without it having an effect on you.”
