Tom Jones illness and concert rescheduling
Overview
Singer Tom Jones was forced to reschedule his “Come Gather Round” tour dates in California, including performances in Los Angeles and San Diego, after being diagnosed with the flu.
Following the initial rescheduling, Jones revealed that his condition progressed into pneumonia, requiring a week of hospitalization. This included two days in the intensive care unit at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center due to breathing difficulties.
During his return to the stage at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, the 86 year old singer shared that he feared for his life during the medical emergency. He recalled having dark thoughts during the crisis, stating, “I thought this was it. You’ve had a wonderful life, Tommy, but it’s over right now.” Jones expressed gratitude to the medical staff at UCLA and emphasized his determination to continue his North American tour, telling the audience, “I have to get back on the stage. That’s where I belong.”
