BREAKING: Sir Tom Jones cancels gig hours before he's due on stage with sad health update

Sir Tom Jones has cancelled a gig hours before going on stage due to concerns about his health.

In a statement, the Welsh crooner 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.

"Until then, thank you for your understanding. Love, Tom."
