Singer Michael Bolton is opening up about his battle with brain cancer.

The Grammy-winning singer best known for his hit song, “How Am I Supposed to Live Without You,” spoke to People in an exclusive interview about his fight with glioblastoma, which he was diagnosed with in 2023.

Glioblastoma is a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer, according to the National Institutes of Health.

In the months after his diagnosis, he described it as, “You’re reaching into your resources and your resolve in a way that you never would have thought.”

“Succumbing to the challenge is not an option. You’re quickly drawn into a duel,” Bolton told People for the latest issue, available on newsstands Friday. “I guess that’s the way you find out what you’re made of.”

Tensions rise have risen since last week’s deadly terrorist attack in Kashmir

Pakistan has alleged that India is planning a military strike on its territory, signaling a further escalation in tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.

“Pakistan has credible intelligence that India intends to launch a military strike within the next 24 to 36 hours, using the Pahalgam incident as a false pretext,” Islamabad’s Information Minister Attaullah Tarar wrote on X on Tuesday evening.

“Any act of aggression will be met with a decisive response. India will be fully responsible for any serious consequences in the region,” Tarar added.

His statement came after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave his country’s armed forces “full operational freedom” to determine the mode, targets, and timing of a response to the recent terrorist attack in India’s Jammu and Kashmir union territory, which left 26 people dead, mostly tourists.

New Delhi has linked the terrorist attack to Pakistan, reiterating long-standing accusations that its neighbor supports cross-border terrorism and insurgencies. 

Update:

Pakistan PM has given the Army the power to do a pre emptive strike on targets that are an imminent threat if necessary.

Pakistan has started mobilizing its Army along its border with India and has kept its Navy on standby as tensions continue to mount between the two countries, sources told India Today.
