A LEGENDARY singer has cancelled a gig just hours before he was due on stage – leaving fans gutted.
Music fans in Bremen, Germany were gearing up for the gig this evening, ready to sing their hearts out with their idol.
But sadly, Sir Tom Jones has announced that he has had to cancel his performance.
In a statement, the 85-year-old 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."
Disappointed fans immediately wished the singer – whose hits include Delilah and Sexbomb – a speedy recovery.
One wrote on X: "I always keep u n my prayers. 24/7 so now u have 2 listen 2 ur body and just slooow down…much [love heart emoji] 4 u Sir.
Another added: "Take care of yourself get well soon."
A third tweeted: "Get well very soon Sir Tom xx."
Sir Tom is currently touring Europe, and is next due on stage on Saturday in Dundee before returning to Bremen on July 28.
He will then be back in the UK for three performances before heading over to Spain for further dates.
Last year, the singer spoke about how grateful he is to still be performing after more than 60 years in the music business.
He told The Mirror: "Well, thank God my voice is still working. I am 83 years old. I mean I can't believe it, but it is true.
"When I am singing I am like, 'How the hell is this coming out of me?' Honestly.
"If the voice was not there I am sure I would be going 'Urgh, I don't want to do so many shows' but I love it as the voice is still working!"
