Michael Bublé has given a very open interview, in which he spoke about “retiring” from music.

Michael Bublé’s son Noah was diagnosed with liver cancer in 2016.

Noah is now in remission, but this period of Bublé’s life has been extremely difficult for Bublé and his family.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Bublé spoke in detail about his son’s battle with cancer, and the affect it has had on him.

He spoke very openly about how rough a time it has been for him, saying:

“Going through this with Noah, I didn’t question who I was, I just questioned everything else. Why are we here?

“Is this all there is? Because if this is all there is, there has to be something bigger.

“It’s been such a difficult exercise. It hurts me, and it hurts to talk about Noah because it’s not my story to tell, it’s his.

“But my whole being’s changed. My perception of life. I don’t know if I can even get through this conversation without crying. And I’ve never lost control of my emotions in public.”

He finished the interview in quite a strange manner that many people are believing implies he has retired from music.

He explained that he was really happy with his upcoming album, and how that may be his last.

He said: “This is my last interview. I’m retiring from the business. I’ve made the perfect record and now I can leave at the very top.”

His upcoming album, Love, will be released on 16 November.
