MICHAEL BUBLÉ HAS put his career on hold to be with his three-year-old son as he battles cancer.

The Canadian singer has two sons, Noah and Elias, with his wife, Argentinian actress Luisana Lopilato.

After speculation in the Argentinian press this morning, Bublé and Lopilato confirmed Noah’s illness in a Facebook post:

We are devastated about the recent cancer diagnosis of our eldest son Noah, who is currently undergoing treatment in the US. We have always been very vocal about the importance of family and the love we have for our children.

Luisana and I have put our careers on hold in order to devote all our time and attention to helping Noah get well. At this difficult time, we ask only your prayers and respect for our privacy. We have a long journey in front of us and hope that with the support of family, friends and fans around the world, we will win this battle, God willing.

Before today’s announcement, Bublé was in the process of promoting his new album, appearing on the Late Late Show just last week.

He did not give any further details on his son’s condition.
