Tom Jones leaves Monte Carlo hospital

NEW YORK, Sept. 1 (UPI) -- Tom Jones' publicist says the Welsh recording star was treated for dehydration at a Monte Carlo hospital and is now feeling fine.

Jones, 71, was hospitalized during the weekend after falling ill, but was discharged Tuesday and is "now in very good health," a representative for the singer said in a statement issued Thursday to People.com.

"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 three-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," the statement emphasized. "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."
