Incredible bravery of Noah Bublé who only last year suffered horrific burns in boiling water accident – and now faces the biggest test of his young life
AT the tender age of just three, little Noah Buble has already had more trauma to deal with than many adults have in their entire lives.
The tiny tot – son of singer Michael Buble – last year suffered horrific injuries in a terrible accident at the family’s home in Argentina.
And now, a year on, Noah’s “devastated” parents have announced that he has been diagnosed with cancer.
The latest news is every parent’s worst nightmare, and will surely have left Michael and his wife Luisana Lopilato asking what the poor toddler could possibly have done to deserve such terrible luck.
In June 2015, Noah – then just two – was left with six per cent burns on his little body after spilling boiling water on himself.
He was rushed to Hospital Alemán in Buenos Aires, where his distraught mum was told he might need surgery.
Speaking to Argentinian magazine Luz, Luisana 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.”

She told of her anguish at helplessly watching her son suffer as she dressed his wounds during his long recovery.
And she admitted dwelling on the events of that day for month afterwards, saying: “I often ask myself why this happened.”
Michael too told of his frustration at seeing his son’s pain, but stressed that he felt fortunate Noah was not more seriously injured.
He told : “It's tough to see him go through it. I try to remind Lu that we are lucky – that it could have been worse.”
But barely a year after the boy’s recovery, Buble’s worst fears have been realised.
The singer and his wife made the heartbreaking announcement in an emotional Facebook post today.
The couple wrote: “We are devastated about the recent cancer diagnosis of our oldest son Noah who is currently undergoing treatment in the US.
“We have always been very vocal about the importance of family and the love we have for our children.
“Luisana and I have put our careers on hold in order to devote all our time and attention to helping Noah get well.
“At this difficult time, we ask only for your prayers and respect for our privacy.
“We have a long journey in front of us and hope that with the support of family, friends and fans around the world, we will win this battle, God willing.”
The news was made all the more tragic after Buble spoke just yesterday on the BBC about his love for his kids.
He told host Claudia Winkleman he “just didn't know that level of love existed” when asked about his sons.
He said: “I just love them so much that part of loving them so much is not giving them everything they want and that is a tough thing for me.”
The family found out about Noah's illness after the youngster visited doctors with a suspected case of mumps, Argentinian website .
