Singer Michael Buble has reportedly cancelled his plans to host the 2017 BRIT Awards amid his son's cancer battle.
The 41-year-old singer is said to have decided not to host the annual awards ceremony that will take place on February 22 at O2 Arena here, just to be with his three-year-old son Noah, who is currently battling cancer, reported Femalefirst.
"It was a difficult call but Michael has decided to pull out of hosting the BRIT Awards. Out of respect for Michael the producers gave him as much time as he needed to make the decision, which they completely understood.
"He would have put a unique stamp on the night so it's a real shame, but at the moment his priority is his family. They are exploring other options now about who will take his place and a number of people have thrown their hat in the ring. No matter who they pick it will be an incredible night," a source said.
Noah is currently in the middle of a four-month course of chemotherapy and his chances of beating the disease are said to be at 90 per cent.
