Tom Jones opens up about his marriage and love life after wife’s passing

After Linda’s death, Tom cancelled all his concerts and released a short statement:
Wife’s passing
“Surrounded by her husband and loved ones, she passed away peacefully,” the Sir Tom’s website wrote.

But last year, Sir Tom opened up on her tragic death. In an interview with This Morning, the Welshman said he would “never love again”.
His wife’s passing really crushed him and he struggled to perform on stage long after Linda was gone.
“When my wife passed away, I didn’t think I could sing,” Sir Tom explained. “When you’re emotional, you can’t sing, your voice closes up.
“There are certain songs I wouldn’t do. But you have to try and get things in the right perspective. Feeling emotional; use it to your advantage and put it into the song.

Now lives in London

“It took me a while,” he continued. “Took me a few months to try and see if I could sing. I got some of my musicians around and tried a few songs. But it was very emotional.”
Linda’s passing also had other consequences – Jones decided to sell their big mansion in Los Angeles, along with all their furniture, in order to move back to the UK.

Today he lives in a flat in London – that was Linda’s wish. His late wife had been homesick and wanted to move back to her roots, but cancer took her life before it was possible.
“She always said she wanted to come back and then she could not do it, so then she told me to do it in the last week she was alive,” said Sir Tom, who was married to Linda for 59 years.
There is no doubt that Jones still mourns Linda, whom he married at the age of 16. The couple met when Linda was 15.
Speaking to Radio 2, Sir Tom described the moment he first saw his wife-to-be:
“I remember her playing marbles and I thought, ‘My God, what great legs she’s got’. She was the best-looking girl around there and we got together. It was magic”, the singer said.

Linda and Sir Tom tied the knot as teenagers, just a month before their son, Mark, was born.
But their marriage would be rife with scandals and infidelity. For more than 50 years, Tom cheated on his wife.
om, who assumed the role of sex symbol, has previously admitted that he slept with 250 women a year at the peak of his career.
“From the very beginning, he was not exactly Mr Faithful,” biographer Sean Smith told Daily Mail in 2015.
It’s unclear how much Linda knew about her husband’s shady side, but it is clear that she suspected something wasn’t right. According to Sir Tom, the couple had a “don’t ask” policy when he was on tour.

”Linda lived a quiet life and rarely left the couple’s villa in Bel Air. During her single marriage to Tom, she has also had alcohol problems,” Robin Eggar, who wrote the official biography of Tom Jones, told the Daily Mail.
After 2003, the wife stopped accompanying her husband on his tours and remained mostly at home in the couple’s Bel Air mansion.

By then, she had already endured several scandals that must have tarnished their relationship.
In 1987, Tom Jones had a three-day fling with the 24-year-old Katherine Berkery, during tour in the US. According to reports, Katherine had no idea he was married and Tom refused to return her phone calls when she discovered she was pregnant with his child.
Nine months later, Jonathan Berkery was born in New York, in June 1988. Sir Tom denied he was Jon’s dad and refused to admit that it was his child.

YOUNG BOY HELPS DAD TO KEEP HIS NEWBORN TWIN SIBLINGS WARM IN VIRAL PHOTO

Some visuals possess such profound warmth and tenderness that they captivate us effortlessly. One such image depicts a young boy assisting his father in warming his two premature twin sisters, evoking a sense of deep connection and compassion.

Originally shared on the Danish Facebook page “Parents and Birth in Denmark” approximately three years ago, this heartwarming photo has resurfaced, garnering renewed attention and appreciation.

In recent years, Scandinavian maternity centers have adopted an innovative approach to caring for their newborns.

Known as the “skin-to-skin” method, or “Kangaroo care,” this practice involves placing premature infants in direct contact with their parents’ skin, providing them with warmth, comfort, and emotional support during a critical phase of their early development.

Research from the National Institute of Health indicates that this method effectively reduces pain and stress among preterm babies, facilitating their recovery and overall well-being.

The impact of this approach has been profound, with Scandinavian maternity centers reporting a significant increase in the survival rate of premature infants, from 30% to an impressive 70%.

One poignant image illustrating this method depicts a 5-year-old boy assisting his father, with one newborn nestled on the father’s chest and the other cradled tenderly by the young boy.

In this tranquil moment, all participants appear at ease, experiencing the profound benefits of this gentle and nurturing practice.

As the image continues to resonate across the internet, it serves as a poignant reminder of the power of human connection and the transformative impact of love and compassion in the earliest stages of life.
