Dehydration caused Tom Jones concert cancellation
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 31 August 2011
A spokesman for Tom Jones has issued a statement after the singer was forced to cancel a gig in Monte Carlo at the weekend. There was media speculation that the cancellation occurred because Jones was experiencing heart problems, but the official statement says the issue was simply dehydration.
The spokesman said on Sunday: “Tom was ordered by doctors not to perform in Monte Carlo yesterday evening, due to severe dehydration. This was extremely disappointing for Tom, the band and all connected with the tour. This was the last date of a very successful three month tour, where many of the shows were in locations that were in the throes of high summer heat. There are no heart problems, as has been reported in the press”.
The statement concluded: “Tom wants to relay his deep regrets for causing disappointment and inconvenience to all who would have come to enjoy his show last night. He thanks everyone for their understanding and support and hopes to see the fans in Monte Carlo again soon”.
