The devastating news that Michael Bublé’s three-year-old son, Noah, has been diagnosed with cancer came out this morning.

The news initially came from an Argentinian publication called La Nacion. Other sources, including Perez Hilton, then reported that Michael’s wife Luisana took Noah to a specialist in the US last week because they thought he may have mumps. The diagnosis came back, in fact, as cancer.

In a Facebook post this morning, Michael announced that he and his wife, Luisiana, have put their careers on hold to devote their time to helping Noah get well.

The multiple Grammy and Juno winner also asks for prayers, respect and privacy.

Our thoughts are with the Bublé family; Michael, Luisiana, Noah, and 10-month-old Elias.
