Michael Bublé has said he doesn't care about having a number one album anymore as he believes there are more important things in life than his career.

The 43-year-old singer, who is set to play dates at Belfast's SSE Arena and Dublin's 3Arena next year, admitted chart positions mean nothing to him anymore after dealing with his son's cancer battle.

Speaking to DJ Larry Flick on New York's SiriusXM, he said: ''I don't give a sh*t if things sell one or 10 million, I don't care where I play, if it is at a club or a stadium. My kids are good, that's all I care about. Making music is this bonus, the bonus of the happiness of life. I couldn't even think about it.

''I don't read anything, don't have social media any more and my poor manager cannot tell me what the chart positions are because he knows I will cut the call.

''I don't need to know that. I don't have control over that.

''Every second I get to promise myself to be the nicest, kindest person I can be. Everything else has gone out of the window - I can't control them.''

Bublé and his wife Luisana Lopilato have children Noah, five, Elias, two and three-month-old Vida together.

Opening up about Noah's live cancer diagnosis in 2016, he said the ordeal has helped him to put his own career worries into perspective.

''I know what it is to have fear. That place [before] wasn't a bad place - I was just a dumb-ass.

''I no longer think it is my business what people think of me. I will never let negativity in.''
