MICHAEL BUBL ON SON’S BATTLE WITH CANCER: Michael Bubl is talking about his son Noah, 4, and his cancer battle. “I’ve been to hell. I don’t talk about the whole story, not even to my friends because it hurts too much. It’s my boy. He’s a superhero, he doesn’t need to relive it over and again. But I’ve been to hell. And you know what, hell seems like a really nice place to vacation compared to where we’ve been,” Michael told the Herald Sun. “I truly thought I’d never come back to music. Family is what matters. The health of my children is No.1. The relationship with my family, my wife, my faith – all of it is easily No. 1.” “It’s cancer so obviously we have to monitor it but I wouldn’t be [getting back into the spotlight] if he wasn’t okay,” Michael said about Noah’s cancer treatments, which reportedly ended last year. Michael and his wife Luisana are expecting a baby girl, who is due in a few weeks.
