Tom Jones, 86, cancels Los Angeles and San Diego shows due to flu

Sir Tom Jones pulled out of two US dates after completing 20 shows on his tour, with reschedules set for early November.

Sir Tom Jones, 86, apologised to fans after cancelling his Los Angeles and San Diego shows at the last minute due to flu. The Welsh singer had just wrapped 20 performances in Las Vegas on his Come Gather Round tour when illness forced him to step back.

The LA show was scheduled for The Greek Theatre and San Diego for The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park. The Los Angeles and San Diego shows have been rescheduled for November 4 in Los Angeles and November 3 in San Diego.

All original tickets remain valid, and fans unable to attend the new dates can seek refunds from their point of purchase.
