Sir Tom Jones reschedules Los Angeles and San Diego shows after flu
The 86-year-old singer says he was advised by doctors to call off two US concerts. The shows are now set for 3 and 4 November, and original tickets remain valid.
Sir Tom Jones has postponed two US concerts after falling ill with flu, rescheduling his San Diego and Los Angeles dates for early November. The Daily Mail Showbiz reports that the 86-year-old confirmed the change in a post on Instagram, which it says was shared on Monday night.
The new dates
According to the statement the Daily Mail quotes, the San Diego show will now take place at The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park on Tuesday 3 November. The Los Angeles concert moves to The Greek Theatre on Wednesday 4 November.
Jones said he had been "hit with a bad case of the flu" and was acting on medical advice. In the Instagram post, as quoted by the Daily Mail, he wrote: "Following doctor’s advice, I unfortunately have to reschedule tonight’s show in Los Angeles and tomorrow’s show in San Diego."
"I’m truly sorry for any inconvenience caused. I look forward to seeing you all soon."
Tickets and refunds
The statement says tickets for the original dates remain valid. Anyone who cannot attend the rescheduled shows is advised to contact their original point of purchase for a refund.
Jones also said he had enjoyed the preceding weeks, "completing 20 shows and singing for wonderful audiences across the USA" before the illness struck. The Daily Mail notes that he has many sold-out dates in the US.
Earlier postponement
The Daily Mail recalls that Jones postponed a show in Bremen, Germany, in July 2025 after contracting an upper respiratory infection. That concert, originally scheduled for 22 July, was moved to 28 July.
The same report also covers Jones's departure as a judge on The Voice UK, which it says was announced in September after 13 years. It adds that he is reportedly not returning in a guest capacity. That is the Daily Mail's account, and it is separate from the flu postponement.
The source does not say whether any further dates on Jones's schedule are affected. Ticket holders should check with their original point of purchase for the latest information.
