Sir Tom was ordered by doctors not to perform in
Monte Carlo yesterday evening, due to severe dehydration. This was
extremely disappointing for Tom, the band and all connected with the
tour. This was the last date of a very successful 3 month tour, where
many of the shows were in locations that were in the throes of high
summer heat. There are NO heart problems, as has been reported
in the press.
Sir Tom wants to relay his deep regrets for causing disappointment and inconvenience to all who would have come to enjoy his show last night. He thanks everyone for their understanding and support, and hopes to see the fans in Monte Carlo again soon.

On Friday 17th June, Tom will kick start the day on
the Chris Evans Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2.
Tom will be co-hosting with Chris from 8am and taking part in all the daily features; such as ‘Head to Headliners’ with Moira Stuart and Johnny Saunders, ‘Gobsmackers’ and ‘Top Tenuous’, where Tom has to decide whether the listener’s tenuous claims to having met / known / seen / eaten in the same restaurant as the him etc are true or false. So please, if you have ever had the pleasure of a random encounter with Tom, please get in touch with the Chis Evans Breakfast team! Then later that day, Tom will then be joining Chris Evans [again] and Alex Jones on BBC 1’s daily topical magazine show, The One Show at 7pm. Both shows are live, so we will have the pleasure of seeing and hearing Tom in a relaxed manner, not knowing what to expect! For all the fans outside of the UK, we will do everything we possibly can to post the audio and the television clip after the shows have aired.
