Bolton wrote alongside the photo, "Spending my birthday filled with love and gratitude. Wishing you all the same, today & everyday!"

Fans flooded the comments with birthday wishes for Bolton, with one writing, "More healthy years to come. Enjoy your special day to the fullest."

"Happy Birthday! I hope you enjoy your day with your family. Every day is a blessing," wrote another, as a third said that they were "wishing u speedy recovery and happiness 😊."

Bolton shocked fans at the start of February when he announced that his concert scheduled for the O2 Arena in London, England on July 5 was canceled, writing, "You all know how much I was looking forward to this show but I am continuing to heal from surgery."

The singer was diagnosed with a brain tumor in late 2023 and quickly underwent surgery, from which he is still recovering. In October 2024, he canceled other upcoming concerts and shared a health update, telling fans, "I’m just not quite 100% yet and I only want to give you my very best, so please bear with me as I continue my road to recovery."
