Legendary singer Tom Jones has scrapped more shows in the Far East after failing to fight off a serious bout of acute laryngitis.

The ‘Delilah’ star scrapped two shows in Singapore and the Philippines at the weekend after he was forced to walk off the stage on Friday night after just two songs.

Doctors ordered him to rest his voice completely, and his rep insisted the star would reschedule the shows for the following week.

But Jones cancelled a concert in Singapore on Thursday, as well as Saturday's gig in Korea.

A statement on his website says, "Sir Tom could risk serious permanent damage to his vocals (if he performed). We are deeply sorry for disappointing and inconveniencing the fans."

The statement advises fans to get a refund from the point of purchase.
