Sir Tom Jones will be performing in Seoul for the first time in 27 years on April 3.
Jones was originally scheduled to hold two concerts at Jamsil Stadium, southern Seoul, but cancelled the April 2 show.
The 69-year-old Welsh singer suffered from acute laryngitis last week, forcing him to postpone a March 26 concert in Singapore, and a March 28 concert in Manila. Doctors advised him to rest his voice, and he spent the last few days recuperating in Singapore.
On his official Web site, Jones apologized to all the concert goers who were inconvenienced. The Singapore concert was rescheduled for April 1.
The Grammy Award-winning Jones is known for his powerful vocals and charismatic stage presence.
He has sold millions of records around the world and is best known for hit songs ``It's Not Unusual,'' ``Delilah,'' ``Green Green Grass of Home,'' ``She's a Lady,'' ``Proud Mary,'' ``Sex Bomb'' and his remake of Prince's ``Kiss.''
Jones was awarded an Order of the British Empire in 1999, and knighted in 2006 for his contributions to British music.
Tickets for the April 3 concert in Seoul range from 88,000 won to 176,000 won. Visit ticket.auction.co.kr.
