It’s hard to believe, with his dashing good looks, that legendary singer Sir Tom Jones turns 80 this year.
His career spans six decades and he admits it’s the music that keeps him feeling youthful – as well as his coaching role on TV.
‘I love doing The Voice, well, music in general, to be honest. I love still being in it,’ Tom tells us. ‘Seeing the young contestants’ work ethic really energizes me.’
He continues, ‘I still love it, but thank God I can still sing. My voice is still there, so that’s a big help! If it had diminished, maybe I wouldn’t feel as strongly about what I’m doing.’
When asked exactly how he keeps his voice so strong, Tom answers modestly, ‘I have no idea. It’s luck, it’s just a God-given thing.’
And singing isn’t Tom’s only talent. He reveals his Voice costar Olly Murs is often amazed at Tom’s ability to belt out any classic song on the spot – without having to look up the lyrics.
