The Holiday Music Legacy

Changing Perspectives After a Family Crisis

On Sunday Today with Willie Geist, aired October 26, Bublé shared how Noah’s cancer diagnosis shifted his priorities and outlook on his career:

“I've always loved Christmas music, but there was a time, years ago now, where my manager used to get mad ... It was like, they wanted me everywhere. And then my son got diagnosed with cancer, and I don't know why, but I had the clearest epiphany that day. I remember thinking, 'Why did I ever worry about anything else?' And from that day on, I never felt the same about it again. Weirdly, that'll be the legacy.”
