Michael Bolton, 72, was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a fast-growing brain cancer, after a fall and unusual behavior during a family bowling night in late 2023. His daughter, Taryn, shared the news in April 2025, revealing that symptoms began with headaches and balance issues. After surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, Bolton’s scans show no tumor recurrence. Though his speech and memory have been affected, he’s focusing on time with his family.
Meanwhile, actor Eric Dane, 52, revealed his ALS diagnosis. Known for Grey’s Anatomy and Euphoria, Dane is facing the disease with support from his wife, Rebecca Gayheart, and their daughters.
In a hopeful turn, Gayheart recently paused their long-standing divorce, highlighting their renewed bond.
Both men, navigating life-altering illnesses, are drawing strength from loved ones and inspiring fans with their resilience and courage.
