SINGAPORE: Tom Jones has cancelled his rescheduled concert at Resorts World Sentosa citing throat problems.He was supposed to perform on Thursday at 8pm.
He had cut short his performance after just two songs last Friday saying he was unwell.
There were about 4,000 fans in attendance last week.
The singer’s management said the 69—year—old singer would have risked permanent damage to his throat if he carried on with his concert on Thursday.
The management added that Mr Jones has been resting his voice all week in Singapore with regular checkups with local specialists but doctors are "nevertheless unable to guarantee that the singer would be able to perform the full show tonight at 100 per cent vocal strength."
Andrea Teo, vice president of Entertainment, Resorts World Sentosa, said,: "Resorts World Sentosa is naturally distressed by the latest cancellation of the concert. His management has just informed that Tom Jones is genuinely ill. He stayed behind in Singapore with the full intention to perform for his fans.
He was advised by his doctor only today against risking permanent loss of his vocals by staging the performance. We again apologise to our guests."
Organisers said full ticket refunds will be made available at the SISTIC Box Office located at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, from Friday onwards till April 18, Monday to Saturday from 11am to 8pm; Sunday and Public Holidays from 1pm to 7pm.
This will also include the SISTIC S$3 booking fee but organisers say that the S$1 handling fee will not be refunded.
