Michael Buble is set to return to the stage in the UK after taking a year out to care for his son Noah, 4, who was diagnosed with cancer.

Buble, 42, announced that he’ll be the headlining act at the Hyde Park gig in London on July 13, with tickets going on sale on Friday.

The Canadian musician said: “I can’t wait to come over to see my fans in London and play BST Hyde Park for my largest ever UK show! You guys have been patient and I can’t thank you enough for all your support.”

“And for those of you that haven’t seen me live, well… I just haven’t met you yet!” he added, referencing his hit song.

Buble was due to host the BRIT Awards back in February, but cancelled it amid his son’s treatment.

The singer released a statement at the time, which read: “We are so grateful to report that our son Noah has been progressing well during this treatment and the doctors are very optimistic about the future of our little boy. He has been brave throughout and we continue to be inspired by his courage. We thank God for the strength he has given all of us.”

Buble’s wife Luisana Lopilato also spoke out about their son’s devastating diagnosis during an emotional Argentinian TV interview.

She explained: “It’s devastating for any parent to receive the news we did when Noah fell ill.”

“Mike wasn’t with me at the time. He was just about to do a very important interview in England and I couldn’t get hold of him on the phone so the day I found out Noah had something in his stomach and the doctors didn’t really know what it was and whether it might be a tumour, I got a flight to the States.”

Lopilato, 30, added back in July: “Thank God the worst is now over, but this is a long and ongoing process.”

Buble also gave a speech at the Governor General’s Performing Arts Awards in his native Canada, saying: “My entire life has been inspired by how my family has made me feel – my wife, my children, my parents, my sisters.”
