The Sex Bomb singer, 82, is said to have been taken ill at the Hungarian capital’s MVM Dome and has been forced to postpone a concert on his Surrounded By Time tour.
The singer was reportedly instructed to cancel the show following the incident after they were called to treat him at the stadium.

A source told the Daily Mail: “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.”
On Friday, Sir Tom took to the stage at Henley Festival. The legendary crooner then went on to perform in Norfolk and Halifax over the weekend.
The scheduled concert at the Hungarian city replaced the scheduled date in Kiyev, which was cancelled due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.
