The legendary hitmaker shows no sign of slowing down as he continues his gruelling Ages and Stages World Tour; he has just finished playing to sold-out gigs in Australia, New Zealand, Asia and the UAE.

The Welshman is in the middle of his mammoth tour and is currently taking in countries such as Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. He will play the first of many UK dates at Hampton Court Palace in South West London on June 11.

Sir Tom Jones told The Mirror that he 'can't believe' his voice is 'still working' saying, "I mean I can’t believe it, but it is true. When I am singing I am like, ‘How the hell is this coming out of me?’ Honestly. If the voice was not there I am sure I would be going ‘Urgh, I don’t want to do so many shows’ but I love it as the voice is still working!”

Despite his advanced years, Jones knows his way around social media and regularly updates his fans while on the road.

Born in  Pontypridd, South Wales, Great Britain on June 7, 1940, to a father who worked the coal mines of the Rhondda Valley, Jones left school at 15, working various manual jobs, singing in clubs at night until his recording career began after signing with Decca Records in London.
