Michael Bublé and Luisana Lopilato’s three-year-old son has been diagnosed with cancer.

Posting the devastating news on his wife’s Facebook page, Bublé informed fans that they would both be cancelling all work commitments for the foreseeable future.

“We are devastated by the recent cancer diagnosis of our eldest son Noah who is currently in treatment in the United States,” he wrote on Friday afternoon.

“We've always talked a lot about the importance of the family and the love we have for our children.

"Luisana and I are going to spend all our time and attention to help Noah to get better, by suspending our professional activities for now."

"During this difficult time, we ask that you pray for him and please respect our privacy.

“We have a long road ahead of us and we hope that with the support of our family, friends, fans around the world and our faith in God, we can win this battle."

Noah is thought to have been diagnosed with the illness when he visited a doctor with a suspected case of the mumps.

Noah was hospitalised last year when he accidently scalded himself on boiling hot water in the family home.

Bublé was in the US at the time of the accident and flew straight back to Argentina to be with his family.

After the accident, Lopilato said: “At one point the doctors told me they'd have to do skin grafts but thank God it started healing little by little. For a long time he has to use elastic bands pressed tight so he's not left with scars.”

The couple, who also have 10-month-old Elias together, are expected to cancel all of their scheduled work activity.

Bublé was the subject of a BBC special on Thursday night and was recently announced as the host of the 2017 Brit Awards.
