Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 30 Oct, 15:46 · Archive

Sir Tom Jones, 86, has postponed several concerts during his North American tour after falling ill with flu.

Sir Tom Jones has postponed several concerts during the North American leg of his Come Gather Round tour after falling ill with what he described as a 'bad case of the flu'. The 86-year-old Welsh singer had shows in Los Angeles and San Diego postponed earlier this week on doctors' advice, and has delayed another performance at the Yaamava Resort & Casino in Highland, California from 30 October to 6 November.

Announcing the earlier postponements, Sir Tom told fans he had completed 20 shows across America before unexpectedly falling ill. He said he was 'truly sorry' for the disruption and added: 'I look forward to seeing you all soon.'

This follows a performance at Colchester Castle Summer Series at Lower Castle Park in August, which itself came only weeks after Sir Tom had cancelled another show because of an upper respiratory infection.
