Welsh singer Tom Jones has postponed additional performances on his ongoing US tour after developing flu. The 86-year-old star first rescheduled concerts in Los Angeles and San Diego. He has now announced another change after doctors advised him to take further rest. The latest postponement affects his planned performance at Yaamava’ Resort and Casino in Highland, California. The concert will now take place on Friday, November 6, 2026. Jones shared the update online and apologised to fans. In his message, the singer said he needed another day of rest following medical advice.

He expressed regret for the inconvenience. Tickets purchased for the original date will remain valid for the rescheduled performance. Fans who cannot attend should contact their original ticket seller about refund options. The new announcement follows two earlier changes to his Come Gather Round World Tour. Jones postponed his Los Angeles concert, originally planned for October 26. He also moved his San Diego performance, scheduled for October 27. The San Diego show is now set for November 3 at The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park. The Los Angeles concert will take place on November 4 at the Greek Theatre. Both changes came after Jones said he had been hit by a bad case of flu.

The singer explained that he had completed 20 shows across the United States before becoming ill. He thanked audiences for their support during the tour. However, he said he had to follow his doctor’s advice and avoid performing until he recovered. Tom Jones remains one of Britain’s best-known singers. He rose to international fame in the 1960s with songs such as It’s Not Unusual and What’s New Pussycat? His other popular recordings include Delilah and She’s a Lady.

Across a career spanning more than six decades, he has earned music honours. These include a Grammy Award, two Brit Awards and an Ivor Novello Award. Queen Elizabeth II knighted him in 2006 for services to music. Jones also recently discussed his departure from The Voice UK coaching panel. He said ITV made the decision not to bring him back for the programme’s 2027 series. For now, his priority is recovery and returning to the stage.

Fans should check official announcements and their ticket providers for further schedule changes. The latest update confirms that the Highland concert has moved to November 6. Tom Jones has apologised again and said he hopes to see audiences soon.

Reports suggest Tommy Lee Jones’ daughter was found dead.
