Tom Jones spoke about strange health treatment before cancelling gig due to infection
Sir Tom Jones apologised to fans in Germany after he was forced to cancel a show at the 11th hour due to infection and the legendary singer previously opened up about his unusual health regime Sir Tom Jones cancelled a gig hours before he was due to perform on stage after suffering a health scare. The She's A Lady superstar, 85, was supposed to play in Bremen, Germany, for his latest tour before informing fans he was 'very sorry' after suddenly axing the performance. In a statement, the Welshman said: '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 28th July, so I look forward to seeing you then. All tickets will remain valid for the re-scheduled date. Until then, thank you for your understanding. Love, Tom." The Voice judge is currently at the midway point of his UK and European summer tour which began on June 13 at Hampton Court Place in Surrey and is due to end in Cardiff Castle at the end of August. Tom has often been open about his health battles and he once spoke about an unusual remedy that he implemented into his regime. Knowing his 90th birthday will be in 2030, he stressed how crucial it is to 'take care of yourself'. Speaking to The Sun, he revealed that hanging upside down like a bat for 'inversion therapy' worked wonders for him, and how it was the secret to him being in such good condition. Explaining in his own words, he said: 'In 2030 I am going to be 90-years-old. I hang upside down. You know on one of those frames. It's great. You put your feet in the thing and you flip and you hang.' People who suffer from lower back pain, poor circulation, sciatica and scoliosis often opt for inversion therapy which shifts the body's gravity – and as a result eases pressure on the back and spine. Experts at Healthline said: 'Practicing inversion therapy may also translate to better flexibility. 'Inversion therapy is also thought to improve posture. This might be especially helpful if you work at a desk.' He started the unusual treatment after he was forced to cancel shows in 2018 when he suffered a bacterial infection. He also cancelled a US tour in 2017 because of medical concerns. Since then, as well as inversion therapy, he started boxing and worked with a personal trainer to stay in shape, and he added: 'I've got a trainer who comes to see me. 'A lot of stretching and boxing thrown in. It's a good cardiovascular workout. Just wine with dinner – a pint of beer once in a while. I try to watch my diet too. 'I've got a 12-pack. But health is very important and that's a lot of luck. 'You've got to take care of yourself.'
