Michael Bolton appeared to fall asleep during during a live interview on Australia’s “The Morning Show”. He wasn’t actually in the studio, he was appearing via satellite.
After the introduction, the hosts tried to get Michael’s attention, but he didn’t respond. It looked like Michael’s eyes were closed. At one point, he looked up and said, quote, “It’s gone silent.”
So here’s what they say actually happened. There were technically difficulties and Michael couldn’t hear the hosts. He says he wasn’t sleeping, he was looking down at his phone.
Michael Tweeted-
I got my first record deal when I was 15 and I haven’t slept since!! In all seriousness there were technical issues with the live feed and they caught me tweeting! We had a great interview once they fixed the glitch. #FakeNews #50thAnniversary #SymphonyOfHits pic.twitter.com/xE3aV7GelL
