Tom Jones postpones show at last minute due to health issues
The Welsh singer (85) told fans he was 'very sorry' to have to postpone the gig in Bremen, north Germany, as part of his ongoing tour. However, the Grammy-winning She's a Lady star revealed he has contracted an upper respiratory infection that requires treatment and rest. As a result, the show – which was due to take place last night – will now be pushed back to next Monday. 'Hello to all the fans in Bremen. Unfortunately, I must postpone my show this evening, as I've contracted an upper respiratory infection that needs treatment and rest. 'I know this is really disappointing and will cause inconvenience to you all, and I'm very sorry about that. But the show will now go ahead on Monday, July 28, so I look forward to seeing you then. All tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled date. 'Until then, thank you for your understanding. Love, Tom.' His post to social media was met with hundreds of messages from fans and friends wishing him a speedy recovery. 'Get better soon TJ,' Jones's former The Voice UK co-star Olly Murs wrote in the comments section, while pop singer Anne-Marie, who also served as a coach on the reality TV show, wrote: 'You're the best.' Jones kicked off his UK and European summer tour at Hampton Court Palace in Surrey back in June. He will conclude the shows with two performances in Cardiff, Wales, at the end of next month. Speaking last year, the Sex Bomb crooner said he was feeling better than ever, and was frequently astonished that his famous voice was still going strong. 'I can't believe it, but it is true,' he said. 'When I am singing I am like, 'How the hell is this coming out of me?' 'Honestly. If the voice was not there I am sure I would be going, 'Urgh, I don't want to do so many shows' but I love it as the voice is still working!' In 2021 he told The Independent: '[With] most 80-year-olds the vibrato slows down, the flexibility of the voice, you can't bend notes like you used to when you were younger. 'Well, that hasn't happened to me, it's still there. The only big difference, sound-wise, is I used to be a tenor when I was young, now I'm a baritone, my voice is lower. But when you listen to a song like Delilah, that's in a tenor's range. Pavarotti told me that. So what I've lost on the top end, I've gained a lot in the lower region.' As well as releasing music and continuing to tour, Jones is a coach on The Voice UK alongside McFly stars Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones, and former Destiny's Child singer and solo artist Kelly Rowland, who is joining the BBC series later this year.
