Sir Tom Jones, 78, was due to perform at Stansted Park on the 18th of July 2018 when he fell gravely ill and was taken to hospital where he is being treated for a "bacterial infection" according to a post on his Twitter page.

The Stansted Park performance was canceled, but his next concert due to take place at the Chester Racecourse on the 19th of July was rescheduled for August 2018.

This is not the first time Jones has been forced to cancel performances for health reasons. In September 2017, Jones canceled his US tour just five days before it was scheduled to begin, later revealing he had had to have a hip replacement procedure.
