“Mony Mony” singer Tommy James had to abruptly end his concert in Las Vegas last Friday after exhaustion.
James performed at Golden Nugget Casino on March 7 and reportedly stopped performing for about an hour.
James’ representative Carol Ross-Durborow told Fox News Digital that he stopped the show “due to exhaustion.”
Ross-Durborow also said he had caught the five-hour flight to Las Vegas early on, went from his hotel to the sound check to the show, and now back in New Jersey, “working well on his Sirius XM radio show.”

James is scheduled to hold a show in Tulsa, Oklahoma next weekend, and Ross-Durborow said he will arrive the day before.
Las Vegas Review Magazine reported that listeners said he stopped singing during “Doing Something to Me” and about an hour on his 90-minute show, then his iconic song “Mony Mony” and the show’s performance.
The 77-year-old began to breathe heavily and recovered while sitting in front of the drum.

Representatives of Golden Nugget told the media that paramedics and the casino were on site treated with James safely and he had no accidents.

He performed “Crimson and Clover” with Joan Jett and Blackhearts during the latter’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2015.
