He also told of his sadness at not being able to go out and greet his fans at the gigs due to his health fears.
As a crowd gathered outside the venue to chant ‘We Love Tom’ in the hope of meeting him he said: ‘Wow, what a night, thank you all from the bottom of my heart sorry I couldn’t come out and see you all. Covid Covid but thank you all for the support. It means so much xx’.
