Tom Jones cancels concert due to illness

Merely few hours before he was set to perform, singer Tom Jones on Wednesday cancelled a gig after falling ill.

The 78-year-old's team informed fans about the cancellation of the Stansted Park (England) show on his official Twitter handle .

The message read: "It is with regret that we have to cancel Tom Jones' performance at Stanstead Park this evening. Unfortunately, Sir Tom is unwell and has been advised by doctors not to perform."

"All ticket holders will receive a full refund by contacting their point of purchase. We apologise for any inconvenience this caused and we wish Tom well," it added.

The legendary singer has another performance scheduled in England on Thursday before heading to Germany and Finland and back to the UK for a string of dates next month. --ANI
