Tom sorry gigs off after he falls sick

with friends and family that take a lot of effort, and it is so disappointing when things don’t go right.

“Although I can’t perform again tonight at Chester Racecourse, the good news is that we can get another date in Chester on August 12, so hopefully I will see you there.

“Until then, a sincere thank you for your support and understanding.”

A previous statement shared on his social media page said that the singer “has a bacterial infection for which he is being treated in hospital”.

“The condition is being well managed and we are hoping for a speedy recovery.

“He is extremely sorry and disappointed not to be able to perform tonight, and sincerely apologises for inconveniences caused to the audience and all those who are involved in the event.”

Fans were told their tickets will “remain valid for the rescheduled dates”, and that if people are unable to attend, they will be able to get a refund at the point of purchase.

Last September, the veteran singer also had to cancel his imminent US tour due to “ill health” and later revealed that he had undergone hip replacement surgery.

Sir Tom has in recent years found new fame with younger audiences as a judge on ITV’s The Voice will.i.am and Olly Murs.

Fans were quick to send the star their best wishes. One said: “Your health comes first Sir Tom. We need you back on stage. Speedy recovery.”

Another said: “Get well soon and see you on the 12th Sir Tom.”
