According to Bolton’s website, the musician was scheduled to begin his tour in February with performances throughout 2024.

“We basically watched our friends and family and realized that they all really needed some light, that it was so dark and oppressive and that we were all basically just carrying around a layer of fear every day,” Bolton said of that Coronavirus pandemic.

“And so we started to feel a sense of responsibility to convey hope and promise and all those feelings that seem so elusive, and it started to become a feel-good record.”

After a successful career in the music industry, Bolton stated that his personal life brings him the most joy.

“I feel even more love and pride for my girls as they start their own families,” Bolton said. “The people I love bring me a lot of happiness…The important things never really change. Love is the most important thing, the center of the universe. There is nothing greater.”

Bolton noted that he took himself “too seriously” early in his career. But now everything is different.

“The fun starts when you let things go… I don’t feel like I’m close to slowing down yet,” Bolton said.

The singer canceled a number of upcoming concerts in October due to health reasons, People magazine reported. Bolton explained that he is “just not quite 100% yet” and is still on the “road to recovery.”

“It’s challenging and often frustrating because I just want to be out there and performing for you, but I need a little more time to rebuild my full strength and endurance,” he wrote on Facebook. “My progress is good and I have been able to complete some exciting projects that you will hear about soon.”
