On Wednesday, Jones was forced to cancel a concert at Stansted Park in Hampshire. He announced he was cancelling the concert hours before he was due to take to the stage.
Fans were also alerted to that cancellation with a tweet posted to Jones' official account.
The statement read: "It is with regret that we have to cancel Tom Jones' performance at Stansted Park this evening.
"Unfortunately, Sir Tom is unwell and has been advised by doctors not to perform. All ticket holders will receive a full refund by contacting their point of purchase.
"We apologise for any inconvenience this causes and we wish Tom well."

Jones has upcoming dates in Germany, Finland and the UK scheduled.
It's not the first time he has cancelled gigs due to ill health.
In September 2017 he cancelled his US tour just five days before it kicked off after undergoing a hip replacement operation.
