It seems like Michael Buble always pops up around Christmas time, much like Mariah Carey. You’ve probably heard his version of famous Christmas classics over and over again.
But sadly, his perfect Christmas voice is not the reason he’s making the headlines this holiday season.
During a recent appearance on the Diary of a CEO podcast, the 48-year-old singer opened up about his son’s cancer diagnosis. For those who don’t know, his now 10-year-old son Noah was diagnosed with liver cancer back in 2018. Thankfully, he’s in remission now, but those early days were dark and scary.
And they changed Buble.
My son’s cancer diagnosis rocked my world. It pulled the curtain from over my eyes. And that was a sledgehammer to my reality. 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.
Later in the podcast, he explained more about what he meant by that, revealing he never considered himself a “bad guy” but he was certainly more focused on his career than his family at times.
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.
In addition to Noah, Buble shares three other kids with his wife, Luisana Lopilato.
