Michael Bublé Shares The Life-Altering Promise He Made to Himself During His Son's Cancer Battle

I can’t even imagine…

Noah, Michael Bublé’s son, was just 3 years old when he was diagnosed with cancer.

His son developed hepatoblastoma — a pretty rare tumor that affects liver cells — back in 2016.

As you can imagine, this was a pretty life-altering experience for Michael Bublé and his family.

It pulled the curtain from over my eyes — that was a sledgehammer to my reality.

Ten years later, Noah is in remission, but Michael Bublé says that the experience made him stop and evaluate his priorities.

After all, Noah was just a toddler when they had to go through the unimaginable, the thing you are NEVER prepared to hear about your child.

When it actually happened, I was going through a crisis — I don’t think I was a terrible guy. But it was the blinders — career, ambition, ‘How do I become the baddest, biggest, best?’ More ego, more power, more money.

When something like finding out your child has cancer happens, reality sets in really fast.

You aren’t really given time to think. You’re just thrown into an entirely new world.

I went, ‘OK, this is it,’ — ‘This is life. This is what’s important. It’s not like I thought about it. There was no time to process it.

Michael immediately made a promise to himself.

He was going to change. If they came out of this on the other side, he was going to be a different person.

I remember closing my eyes and saying to myself, ‘If we get out of this, I’m living a different life, a better life’ — ‘I want to be kinder, I want to be more empathetic, I don’t want that ego and that false self to take over, I want to know how lucky I am.’

And, Michael takes that promise to heart every single day of his life.
