The musician Michael Bolton has started the new year on a grim note. On Friday, Bolton revealed that he has been battling serious health issues. In a note shared on his social media handle, Bolton shared that he was diagnosed with a brain tumour recently and has undergone emergency surgery for the same. 
 
In the post shared on his Instagram handle, the 70-year-old rocker said that he was diagnosed with a brain tumour before the holidays. 
 
"Just before the holidays, it was discovered that I had a brain tumor, which required immediate surgery. Thanks to my incredible medical team, the surgery was a success," the singer, 70, wrote on the post shared on his Instagram handle. "I am now recuperating at home and surrounded by the tremendous love and support of my family." 
 
Further, the singer shared that he will be taking a temporary break to focus on his health in the coming months. 
 
"It is always the hardest thing for me to ever disappoint my fans or postpone a show, but have no doubt I am working hard to accelerate my recovery and get back to performing soon," Bolton wrote. 
 
"Know that I'm keeping your positive messages in my heart, and I'll give you more updates as soon as I can," he concluded the message.&nbsp; 
 
In July, Michael Bolton&nbsp;released an album titled ''Spark of Light'', which is a compilation of 14 original songs that he has co-written over the years. In his career spanning over decades, Bolton got his breakthrough with the song ''How Am I Supposed To Live Without You.''&nbsp;The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 charts.&nbsp; 
 
His other hit songs are "To Love Somebody", "When a Man Loves a Woman", "This Is the Time" and others.

Michael Bolton undergoes surgery for brain tumour, announces temporary break

Congress' probe into security failures that allowed the deadly January assault on the US Capitol by former President Donald Trump's supporters turns on Thursday to the inspector general of the police department charged with securing the seat of American democracy.

The House of Representatives Administration Committee will hear testimony from Michael Bolton, the US Capitol Police inspector general leading the investigation into the department’s preparation for and response to the January&nbsp;06 violence.

Those internal probes recommended that the Capitol Police immediately improve its intelligence operations and beef up the readiness of a unit that handles civil disturbances.

Trump and some of his fellow Republicans have tried to downplay the attack, when hundreds of his supporters stormed the Capitol in an attempt to disrupt Congress’ certification of President Joe Biden’s election victory.

Five people including Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick died in the violence and many more officers suffered injuries. Lawmakers were forced to huddle in secure rooms while law enforcement battled the rioters.

Nonetheless, some congressional Republicans have sought to downplay the violence. Republican Senator Ron Johnson has expressed doubts that Trump supporters were behind the riot and a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll found that only three in 10 Republicans said Trump bears some responsibility for the attack.

A summary of Bolton’s report to Congress found the Capitol Police Civil Disturbance Unit was operating on Jan. 6 "at a decreased level of readiness" and that the department needed to improve its management of weapons, ammunition and riot shields.

The violence shook lawmakers, aides and the large support workforce.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, speaking on the Senate floor following the attack, said,&nbsp;"I have never lived through or even imagined an experience like the one we have just witnessed in this Capitol."
