Earlier, on December 17, Michael Bolton had postponed his holiday performance at Mohegan Sun. According to Mohegan Sun, the cancellation was due to Bolton facing some illness; however, the kind of illness wasn't specified.

Earlier in 2019, the singer took to X to announce the cancellation of his Finland show.

"My dear fans in Finland, it is with a heavy heart that, under doctors' orders, I will be unable to perform at my show in Oulu on Friday due to illness. I struggled through the show in Tampere and have been ordered to rest and get treatment."

The 71-year-old singer canceled a concert in October 2021 due to an illness. Some fans wondered if Bolton was suffering from Parkinson's disease. However, the singer personally hasn't addressed these health-related comments.

Michael Bolton has been a household name since the 1970s, with iconic songs like When a Man Loves a Woman and How Am I Supposed to Live Without You. He is known to sing in a ballad style.

However, in recent times, as he has grown older, Bolton has stepped away from the spotlight. Although he performs frequently, he hasn't released any new songs, re-released new versions of his classics, or made appearances on reality music TV shows such as the American Song Contest. In 2021, he guest-starred in season 6 of The Masked Singer as "Skunk".

Julianne Hough and her brother, Derek, hosted this year's Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade. The parade brought nostalgia to many viewers by featuring old clips of performances from artists like Gwen Stefani and NSYNC and pre-recorded productions from Ariana DeBose and Iam Tongi.

Meg Donnelly, Chrissy Metz, and Mickey Gouton were among the few others in attendance.
