Singer’s emotional return after lad’s cancer shock

MICHAEL Bublé makes a gesture of love to fans at the crooner’s first gig since his son’s cancer battle.

In an emotional return to the stage, the Canadian star thanked them for their support during his traumatic two-year break.

And he delighted the 55,000-strong crowd when he brought recovering son Noah to stage at British Summer Time festival in Hyde Park, London.

Wiping away tears and making a heart shape with his hands, Bublé told them: “You have no idea how much it means to be to be surrounded by all you beautiful souls.

Devastated

“I want to thank you for everything you have done for me. Thank you from me and my family for your love and support.”

The crowd erupted in applause when the 42-year-old welcomed Noah with a hug and a kiss. His two-hour set was peppered with anecdotes about the boy, including how he wanted him to sing The Greatest Showman.

The headline concert was Bublé’s first since he and actress wife Luisana Lopilato announced in November 2016 Noah had been diagnosed with cancer, aged three.

He told the crowd there were “many moments” he thought he “might not come back” to showbiz.

At the time Buble said they were “devastated” and were suspending work commitment­s to devote all their time to the youngster.

In April, Luisana said the couple, who also have a son Elias, two, and are expecting a girl this month, were “looking forward to thinking about the future” and seeing their children grow. Bublé opened his set on Friday with Feeling Good and closed with a tearful rendition of You Always On My Mind.

The festival continues tonight with Paul Simon as the headline act.
