Sir Tom Jones has been forced to postpone two shows after he was struck down with “a bad case of the flu”.
The 86-year-old singer took to social media to confirm his San Diego and Los Angeles concerts couldn’t go ahead, but he has rescheduled the two concerts for November 3rd and 4th.
Tom wrote on Instagram: “I’ve had a great time these last few weeks, completing 20 shows and singing for wonderful audiences across the USA, but unexpectedly I’ve been hit with a bad case of the flu.
“Following doctor’s advice, I unfortunately have to reschedule tonight’s show in Los Angeles and tomorrow’s show in San Diego.
“I’ve had news that these shows will now be re-scheduled as follows – The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park, San Diego on Tuesday November 3rd and The Greek Theatre, Los Angeles on Wednesday November 4th.”
Tom told fans he is “truly sorry” for postponing the gigs, and informed supporters they can have a refund if they cannot attend either of the rescheduled dates.
He added: “I’m truly sorry for any inconvenience caused. I look forward to seeing you all soon
“All tickets for the original dates will remain valid, however, if customers are unable to attend the rescheduled dates, they are advised to contact their original point of purchase for a refund.”
In July 2025, Tom had to postpone a concert after he contracted an “upper respiratory infection”.
The music icon was forced to reschedule his gig in Bremen, Germany on July 22nd, 2025, to undergo “treatment” and rest up.
The show was rescheduled for July 28th.
A social media statement read: “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 28 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.”
