Sir Tom Jones has postponed his next two concerts, moving the October 31 and November 1 dates out of the schedule after further advice from his doctor following a bad case of the flu. The affected shows were set for Hard Rock Live Sacramento, CA, and The Masonic, San Francisco, CA.
He said he had already completed 20 shows and sung for audiences across the USA before the illness forced the change. In his update, Jones wrote: "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," and later added: "I thank you for your continued support and understanding."
Hard Rock Live Sacramento, CA
The Sacramento date had already been part of an earlier run of California cancellations, so this is not a one-off hiccup. It is a second update on the same illness, and it leaves ticket holders waiting for rearranged dates rather than a simple night-by-night change. Sir Tom Jones Reschedules 2 California Concerts covers the first round of changes.
Jones said the doctor’s advice applied to the October 31 show and the following night, which makes the delay immediate rather than cosmetic. He also told fans they could receive a full refund if they could not attend the rearranged date, a practical option that matters more than the usual sympathy note because it gives buyers a clear exit if the new timing does not work.
The Masonic, San Francisco, CA
The San Francisco concert on November 1 sits in the same postponed block, and it now stays on hold until further notice. Jones wrote: "I'm really sorry, but following further advice from my doctor, my next two shows on October 31st at Hard Rock Live Sacramento, CA and November 1st at The Masonic, San Francisco, CA will need to be postponed until further notice," followed by, "I know this will be disappointing for those of you who were planning to attend, and I thank you for your continued support and understanding."
The update does more than pause two dates; it pushes the operational question onto ticket holders and venue staff who now need new timing, not just a new announcement. For readers tracking his broader schedule, the same week also produced more coverage around Sir Tom Jones in the UK and his wider TV profile, including Tom Jones The Voice Exit and Is The Voice On Tonight.
Fans had already been posting well wishes after the postponements, but the more useful takeaway is simpler: keep the tickets, watch for the rearranged date, and use the refund option if the new slot does not fit. Until the new calendar lands, the show count stops at 20 and the next two California concerts remain off the board.
