After putting his career on hold to focus on his young son’s battle with cancer, Michael Bublé has made his stepped back into the spotlight.
Michael, 41, accepted the National Arts Centre Award in Ottawa from the Governor General of Canada on Wednesday — his first public appearance in months.
Addressing the audience, the Canadian singer said: “I stand here truly humbled that I have been allowed to be one of your musical representatives and that you would choose to bestow this honour upon me during what has been an emotionally difficult time for my family.”
“I thank you for the love and support that you’ve given me and for the pride I’m filled with every single time I’m able to stand on a stage and say, ‘My name is Michael Steven Bublé and I am Canadian.’”
Speaking to his family, wife Luisana Lopilato, sons Noah, three-and-a-half, and Elias, 17-months, parents and sisters, he added: “There are no words to describe how I feel about you. Sometimes, ‘I love you’ just isn’t enough because what I feel is just so much more.”

Luisana, 30, a well-known Argentinian actress and model, broke her silence on Noah’s liver cancer treatment back in April.
“Thank God, my son is well. When things like those that happened to us occur, your take on life changes,” she said during a press conference in Buenos Aires for her latest film — Those Who Love, Hate. “It happened to us. Now I value life much more, the now and the today.”
She added: “My son’s recovery is a long process as you all know and he has to continue with check-ups. But we are very happy. We are looking forward to thinking about the future, to seeing our children grow. Seeing Noah grow and being happy gave me the strength to return and finish this film.”
The adorable Bublé family!
Both Michael and his lovely wife put their careers on hold to be there for their son at every possible moment.
It’s clear the singer-songwriter is every bit the doting dad.
The much-loved duo have remained tight lipped about little Noah’s excruciating journey, save for a handful of comments made via social media.
In February, Michael, 41, took to Facebook to share a promising update on little Noah’s cancer battle, saying that their little boy had been “progressing well.”
He added that doctors are “optimistic” about young Noah’s future.
We continue to wish Noah and the rest of his family all the very best.
