Sir Tom Jones has been forced to postpone a second show after falling ill with a bacterial infection. The 78-year-old singer was due to perform at Chester Racecourse on Thursday, following a cancelled show at Stansted Park on Wednesday.
According to a statement on his Twitter page, Jones is currently being treated in hospital for the infection. The post confirmed that the condition is being well managed and that a speedy recovery is expected.
The Chester performance has been rescheduled for August. Jones expressed his deep disappointment and apologised for any inconvenience caused to the audience and event organisers.
This latest health setback follows a hip replacement surgery last September, which led to the cancellation of a US tour five days before it was due to start.
