Michael Bublé has spoken out about his son Noah’s liver cancer battle in a candid new chat.
Noah, now 10, was just three years old when he was diagnosed with hepatoblastoma back in 2016. He has now fully recovered.
Bublé, 48, said on The Diary of a CEO podcast that the diagnosis “rocked his world” and was like a “sledgehammer to my reality”.

”My son’s cancer diagnosis rocked my world. It pulled the curtain from over my eyes,” Bublé said.
”That was a sledgehammer to my reality, I will never be carefree again in my life, and that’s OK.”
Bublé said the diagnosis helped him realise his priorities as he was so focused on his career.

”When it actually happened, I was going through a crisis. I don’t think I had my priorities straight. My family was always a love, I don’t think I was a terrible guy, but it was blinders – career, ambition, how do I become the baddest, biggest, best? More ego, more power,” Bublé explained.
”It’s like life was lived with like a curtain in front of me, like a filter and the moment that they said ‘this is what’s happening’, that reality hit me – filter gone, in a moment.”
The crooner went on to praise his wife Luisana Lopilato, 36, saying: ”I’m a lucky man.”
“Look at my wife, how did that happen, how did I get this incredible human being who is the best of all of us to lead me through and carry me through these things?”
The Sway singer previously told Nine’s Today Show: “It sucks and it still sucks. What we went through is the worst possible thing you can go through as a parent and maybe as a human being.”

He said some days he and Lopilato, who share four children together, struggled “to survive and breathe.”
Of Noah’s cancer diagnosis, he added, “I much rather it would have been me”.
