Sir Tom Jones has cancelled a performance just hours before curtain due to illness.
The 85-year-old It’s Not Unusual singer told fans he knew the news was ‘very disappointing.’
In a statement, he 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.’
The scheduled show was a part of Sir Tom’s Defy Explanation tour.
Taking to the open-air stage at Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, Denmark, on Saturday, the legendary singer jokes: ‘Is my voice still working? Yes? So as long as it’s here, I’m here.’
Sir Tom is known by many as a beloved coach on The Voice, but has also continued to tour relentlessly in recent years with no sign of stopping.
He has previously admitted he has less control over his voice than he used to, telling Yours magazine in a 2024 interview: ‘I can still sing. All you have got to do is push it harder … and I can still do that.’
