Sir Tom Jones is treated by doctors after collapsing in Budapest

Sir Tom Jones has been forced to postpone a concert in Budapest on Tuesday evening after ‘collapsing’ at the Hungarian capital’s MVM Dome. 

The legendary singer, 82, was taken ill ahead of the latest European date on his Surrounded by Time tour, resulting in paramedics being called to the venue.

A source told MailOnline: ‘Tom Jones collapsed, so his concert was cancelled tonight and doctors were called to the stadium. His management has set August 16th as the new date for the concert.’ 

The spokesperson said he collapsed around an hour before he was due to perform, but hoped he would be able to continue with the concert.

But after private doctors’ orders, Sir Tom was forced to cancel the gig just minutes before he was due to take to the stage, according to stagehand Péter Kovács.

According to local news reports, an ambulance was called for Tom ahead of his Budapest concert.

A spokesperson for the Surrounded by Time tour reportedly confirmed to Hungarian news outlet Index that Tom had been taken ill.

MailOnline has contacted Tom’s representatives for comment.

Sir Tom’s concert at the MVM Dome in Budapest replaced the originally advertised Kiyev stop on his Surrounded by Time tour due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.

On Friday, Sir Tom took to the stage at Henley Festival and then went on to perform in Norfolk and Halifax over the weekend, before heading to Budapest as part of his Surrounded By Time tour.

After performing in Amsterdam last Wednesday, Sir Tom took to Instagram to say he had had an ‘electric night’ performing at the Ziggo Dome.

Sir Tom has been jetting around the world for his much-anticipated Surrounded By Time tour and has been sharing regular snaps of his travels and shows on Instagram. 

His European and US tour features more than 50 dates and the singer is due to perform in cities across Germany, Croatia, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway and Belgium over the coming weeks.

In August, Sir Tom is due to return to the UK for more tour dates, including performances in Edinburgh and Essex before jetting out to the United States.

He is planning to visit states including New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut before heading to Canada to perform in Toronto, Montreal and Windsor.

Sir Tom’s 55-date tour is then set to return to America for further shows before coming to a close on October 12 with a final performance in San Francisco.

Announcing new dates of his tour on Instagram in April, Sir Tom wrote: ‘Really looking forward to hitting the road across UK/Europe this summer! 

‘It’s always a joy performing with my great band and seeing you all and the fun you have at the shows.’

‘Tickets are now on sale. Which one will you be coming along too? See you soon x.’
