Tom Jones forced to postpone shows in Singapore & Manilla
March 26th, 2010 | By TomJones
It is with regret that Tom Jones has been forced to postpone shows in Singapore at Resorts World Sentosa on March 26th, and the Araneta Colliseum Manilla on March 28th, due to illness. Both dates are looking to reschedule, hopefully as soon as next week.
Sir Tom has been diagnosed by a specialist with Acute Laryngitis and has been ordered complete vocal rest. The artist is deeply sorry for
disappointing and inconveniencing his fans.
All ticket holders are informed that they should hold on to their tickets for either re-entry to rescheduled show or full refund which can be made at point of purchase.
Get well soon Tom!! I have had Laryngitis bad a few times and lost my voice during performance. Hope you make a speedy recovery

I was just surfing around the TJ website and came across this story that I recall from last year. It is a singers nightmare to become ill in this way and I am very lucky not to have ever experienced such an awful period of illness.( watch out, now I will get ill! ).
Seriously though, we performers go through a very worrying time, especially during the winter months, when we get paranoid if someone just coughs anywhere near us! A sore throat is a nuisance for anyone, but for us it can mean the difference between performing at the concert or having to cancel.
It was great to see that Sir TJ made a full recovery and then went on to make a fantastic new album! Well done Tom, your energy and enthusiasm for singing are an inspiration to everyone.

They call him Jones the voice. I say, that he’s Jones with the GREATEST voice. Tom has been entertaining the world with great performances for decades and puts everything into every show.He certainly deserves a rest! I first saw him at the Hammersmith Odeon back in 1970 and he was sensational. I’m also a Big fan of Elvis but Tom as a singer is “the complete package” and can produce the magic with a ballad or a fast number. An incredible voice that has such power, range and sensitivity. Go and see this man while he still walks the planet.The longest act in the history óf Las Vegas and a true legend. Fantastic, that’s Tom Jones!
Tom Jones,yes give yourself a well deserve rest!.Hope you can do a concert soon at MetroVancouver/Canada!.Suggestion-Tom start dressing up again when performing at concerts.Your a singer and entertainer not a artist be the Tom Jones of the 1970″s!!.
Tom,
I’ve been a fan for years. I’ve been to every concert in the Birmingham, Alabama, area since the 1970′s. I had tickets to the Atlanta Chastain Park for July 2009, but it was cancelled due to illness. I’m waiting for you to re-schedule in my area.Please come soon. I miss you.
Please advise if the Manila concert will still push through. I bought tickets for my dad since he is a big fan of yours. He is soooo excited to watch you perform live…hope the concert will still push through. Thanks.
Luv,
Get Well Soon
Please come back to PECHANGA CASINO RESORT,BELLY UP AND HARRAH’S
I’m waiting for you.
45 YR. FAN OF YOURS

Get well soon Sir Tom Jones, from all the Tom Jones Tributes in the UK, none of us can get close to such a legend as yourself, but we all give it a good go!! We owe you our livings. Thankyou once again for the inspiration!
Dearest Tom,
We are now only 2 weeks away for the biggest event to hit Muscat this millenium……You in concert.
To get us in the mood we are having pre-concert drinks and Sir Tom Jones classics on Singstar at the now legendary Muscat watering hole The Lamb Banana in MQ, which is owned & managed by our very own Welsh leg-end Gareth Owen. You may know him!
Anyhow, festivities kick-off at 6:30pm and you are most welcome to share a jar with us all before doing your thing. We are heading down the concert for 8pm and you are due on around 9, so everyone is a winner.
Hi Tom,
Hope you are feeling better soon my friend. From us all in the UK.
God bless
Tom, get well soon. Ding Dong! From Nanny and Molly x x x
Hope you feel better soon. Plase add southeast Florida to your tour.
I remember when I was almost three years old in 1968 and Delilah was out. My good Christian mother went crazy and almost lost her salvation with this song and bought Tom’s album. We used to listen to it in the living room on our huge console stereo. I’m 43 now and just found a super video on youtube.com (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI5LWwC-cE8) of Tom singing Delilah way back in the day… I called my 71 year old mom to my pc, and she sat here and enjoyed watching it…several times! Awesome, awesome talent, Tommy! You were and still are GORGEOUS!!
llesu toc Tom! nyni car- serchu.
Hey Tom,
Hurry and get well soon my friend. I have aslo been very ill but back on track now.Hope you are OK. From us all in the UK.
Sir Tom Jones, Loove your music. You had a sold out show last year at the Cape Cod Melody Tent in Hyannis, MA. But you also canceled due to laryngitis. I do hoe you get well soon. But I would like to know if you’re planning on coming down to the Melody Tent this year here in Hyannis, MA.
Thanks, And Get Well Soon!
Saved up enough , got a good seat and took the day off to watch your concert. Sad you were ill. It was ok but now, April 1st is a bad date to reschedule your concert. Those of us who are Christians have to attend church services that evening to commemorate the Feast of the Lord’s Supper before Good Friday. Wish it was the day before, Wednesday, 31st March. Hopefully it will be reconsidered so I do not have to get a refund and miss a concert I waited a lifetime to experience.
Tom, I am so excited to see you in Muscat in April, so hope you get better soon. I have all your albums and a poster on my bedroom wall. I am your biggest fan ever!!! Take rest and hope you are feeling better soon. Maybe we can have a drink when you are here?
Get well soon and take care of that sexy voice. I attended a concert of yours in the early eighties and am still talking about it. I hope I have the pleasure of attending another one soon. Time has been your friend, Love.
I attended Friday night’s Tom Jones concert at Resorts World Sentosa in Singapore.
It is unfortunate that Tom Jones has laryngitis, but the performance should never have gone on.
Obviously his management and the promoters would have known earlier in the day and definitely prior to the show that Tom Jones would not have been able to complete the performance.
It was absolutely appalling how it was handled… performing two songs then a brief apology, before abruptly walking off the stage, leaving 4,000 people sitting in the auditorium stunned.
Some people thought he was joking. Someone from his management company, the promoter or the venue should have instantly got on stage and explained the situation rather than leaving the audience bewildered.
It showed complete disrespect for his loyal fans who had paid up to SGD$300 a ticket, some had flown in especially for the concert.
I realise illness is unforseen, but it is extremely disappointing a performer the calibre of Tom Jones, his management, the promoter and the venue would treat his audience in such an arrogant manner. I wish Tom well.
Get welln sonn !!
Get Well Soon !!
i was so sad to hear that the concert was postponed, i really hope and pray that you will recuperate fast. I have love you since i was 9 years old am now 49 and still love you so much. I am really dying to see you in person. Do take care and God Bless.
God bless you and may you get well soon. I am having withdrawals since I didn’t get to see you last year at Atlanta. Please come to Atlanta this summer.
I can’t believe this! I’m so hyped up for tomorrow’s concert, spent a fortune in money and effort for the tickets! Get well soon. Please push through in Manila when you get better.
THERE IS NO PERFORMER THAT COMPARES TO YOU IN LAS VEGAS OR ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD – SO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
Hope you feel better soon. I missed seeing you in Atlanta last year due to your having laryngitis then. Take care!
