Tom Jones has been forced to cancel six dates in the far east and one in Abu Dhabi due to what is being called a “serious family illness”.
The Philippines site The Inquirer wrote that Jones cancelled his Saturday night show at Smart Araneta Coliseum in Mandaluyong City just hours before it was to begin and asked to be taken directly to the airport. A source with the promoter said that he “looked devastated”.
At first, rumors said that his wife of 59 years, Linda, was ill but his management has since denied the talk.
The following announcement was posted on his website:
