Bolton didn't share any additional details about his brain tumor or his symptoms.
According to Bolton's website, the musician was expected to kick off his tour in February with shows throughout 2024.
Last year, Bolton told People magazine how his album "Spark of Light" was his way of spreading positivity through hard times.

"We were basically observing our friends and family and seeing that they all really needed some light, that it was so dark and oppressive, and basically we were all just carrying layers of fear to our every day," Bolton said, reflecting on the coronavirus pandemic.
"And so we started to feel a sense of responsibility to deliver hope and promise and all these feelings that seem to be so elusive, and it started to become a feel-good record."
After a successful career in the music industry, Bolton explained that he found the most joy in his home life.
"I'm filled with more love and pride in my girls as they raise 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's nothing greater."

Bolton noted that he took himself "too seriously" at the beginning of his career. But now, things are different.
"The fun starts happening when you let go of things... I don't feel like I'm near slowing down yet," Bolton said.
The singer canceled a string of upcoming concerts in October due to his health, People magazine reported. Bolton stated that he’s "just not quite 100% yet" and is still on the "road to recovery."
"It is challenging and oftentimes frustrating because I just want to be out there performing for you but I need a little more time to build back my full strength and stamina," he wrote on Facebook. "My progress is good and I have been able to get a little work done on a couple exciting projects that you’ll be hearing about very soon."
