The Voice UK has endured some switch-ups on its judging panel as of late. The ITV show returns on August 31 and brings some new famous faces. Legends will.i.am and Sir Tom Jones are back. And they’re joined by LeAnn Rimes, as well as Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones of McFly this season.
Coaching budding musicians is no easy task but with a repertoire like Sir Tom Jones’, he’s likely got enough wisdom to help any singer evolve. At 84 years old, Sir Tom outdoes the rest of the Voice UK judging panel in terms of experience. The youngest of the coaches is McFly’s Danny, 38, followed by Tom, 39, LeAnn, 41, and will.i.am, 49.
Sir Tom Jones is back on The Voice UK
The Voice UK comes with some changes to its judging panel this season. But one thing that remains the same on the ITV show is Sir Tom Jones’ mentorship.
The 84-year-old is back for another series this year, making it his twelfth year on The Voice.
Speaking on BBC’s The One Show this August, he gives his take on his long-standing role on the show: “…it’s the perfect job for me, well it’s not really a job, it’s something that I love to do…”, reports Wales Online.
Not only is Sir Tom sharing his wisdom with up-and-coming artists, he’s also still taking to the stage himself and shares tickets for his US tour on X (Twitter) this summer.
‘He’s like the God of music’
Ahead of series 13, Sir Tom and the rest of the coaches take to the stage to perform together.
The musicians get together to sing Miley Cyrus’ Midnight Sky.
Sir Tom’s performance on the show prompts many fans to comment their disbelief at his “remarkable” voice.
Many write it’s “ridiculous” how he can sing so well in his eighties, while more comment: “Sir Tom absolutely smashes it. His voice soars out loud and clear. Truly phenomenal. Legend!”
Others call the Green Green Grass of Home singer “incredible” while more are convinced of the impossible, commenting: “Tom Jones doesn’t grow old. Hes so blessed.”
Sir Tom’s super fans say they watched the video “30 times,” and others pen their thoughts: “Tom Jones is like the god of music.”
Judging by a tweet from the legendary singer, he’s equally as impressed by his age as he takes to X on his 84th birthday.
On June 7, a tweet from his official page reads: “Wow 84 years young today! To celebrate I’m pleased to be sharing with you a full episode of my nineties TV show ‘The Right Time’ for the first time on my YouTube channel. Check it out! Thank you for all the wonderful birthday wishes x.”
