A brutal flu pressured music legend Sir Tom Jones to abruptly cancel his SoCal tour dates just hours before showtime.

The famed Welsh singer was unexpectedly hit with the flu on Monday and had to reschedule his Los Angeles and San Diego present.

“I’ve had a great time these last few weeks, completing 20 shows and singing for wonderful audiences across the USA, but unexpectedly I’ve been hit with a bad case of the flu,” Jones wrote in a put up.

“Following doctor’s advice, I unfortunately have to reschedule tonight’s show in Los Angeles and tomorrow’s show in San Diego,” he continued.

His Los Angeles live performance was set to kick off on Monday at 7:30 p.m. at The Greek Theatre, but it will now be rescheduled to November 4. The San Diego present was supposed to be on Tuesday at The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park at 7:30 p.m. but has been modified to November third.
