Bolton was admitted at a hospital after suffering a bad headache where an MRI identified a brain tumour.

He reportedly underwent a second operation in January 2024 after suffering an infection.
Bolton finished his chemotherapy and radiation by October. He needs to have bi-monthly MRIs so that a recurrence can be tracked. As much as his last scan was negative, though, cancer often relapses.
