β¦ Synopsis
From bestselling biographer Sean Smith comes the fascinating and tumultuous true story behind Sir Tom Jones, the nationβs treasure, sage of The Voice and living music legend.
Now approaching his 75th birthday, Tom Jonesβ life has been an unforgettable rollercoaster ride. From starting out in a little Welsh mining town where he married his sweetheart at just 16, who could have known that seven years later he would go on to become a major musical hit that would propel him to Bel Air? Through intimate interviews, Smith uncovers all this and more, including the years Tom spent as little more than a Vegas lounge singer, before being rediscovered in the late β80s and becoming a maestro on the music scene once again.
As revealing as it is entertaining, this is the definitive story of a great talent who is showing no signs of slowing down.
