Michael Buble announces first shows since son's cancer diagnosis

Nov. 13 (UPI) -- Michael Bublé will return to the stage next year after taking a hiatus from music to care for his elder son.

The 42-year-old Canadian singer announced Monday on social media that he will perform at two concerts in July 2018.

Bublé will visit Dublin on July 7 before headlining the British Summer Time music festival in London on July 13. The concerts will be his only shows in Ireland and the U.K., respectively.

"Michael performs at Croke Park in Dublin on Saturday 7th July," the star's team wrote on Facebook. "This will be Michael's ONLY IRE show in 2018. Tickets go on sale at 9am Friday 17th November."

"Michael will be headlining London's @BSTHydePark on Friday 13th July -- His only UK show in 2018! Tickets go on sale 9am Friday," the team added on Twitter.

Bublé announced in November 2016 that Noah, his 4-year-old son with Luisana Lopilato, was diagnosed with cancer. Lopilato said at a press conference in April that Noah is now "well" and recovering from the disease.

"My son's recovery is a long process as you all know and he has to continue with checkups. But we are very happy," the actress said. "We are looking forward to thinking about the future, to seeing our children grow.

Bublé and Lopilato, who married in March 2011, also share 21-month-old son Elias.
