Everyone under 60 years old is asking "Who's Tom Jones?" cheesy.gif

Nah, he was a presenter on The Voice, that's a pretty high profile show. Hell, he even had a number one hit six or seven years ago, albeit for Comic Relief.

I have not hit 50 but I sure love Tom Jones.

He's a world class entertainer, a league of his own.

He gets you up from your seat just like that, it's magic.

Showbiz is a fickle business.

One day you're in, the next day you're out.

And when this guy who has been in the business for almost 5 decades, U know what a powerhouse

he is.

It's sad when one doesn't even know who Tom Jones is.

It seems that your life has just passed you by smile.png

Never a fan or a detractor but talked to him awhile at the bar on a flight to NY one time. He was drinking softies cos he had a gig on arrival. Very unaffected and good humoured guy!

It's not unusual.

They should get PJ Proby to take his place, that's the guy Tom Jones copied.

Oh yes you're right....Tom Jones copied P J Proby........the guy had one hit and faded into oblivion....and Tom Jones who's as popular today as he always was. Great post

I wonder if low ticket sales is the real reason. I was very surprised to see him coming here to a large venue.; I think most Thais do not even know of him.

I suspect not: Tom Jones cancels entire Asia Tour

He's been here before, as I recall previous shows were a sell out.

Some time ago (maybe ten years or so) I used to go to a music bar in Patpong (Radio City? Can't remember) quite often, where they had a Tom Jones impersonator and an Elvis impersonator, both Thai and both really quite good. And a good band. The place was always heaving with young(ish) Thais, so I think Tom Jones is actually very well known and liked in Thailand.

Edit to say that I just caught the last couple of posts about his wife's death. Very sorry to hear it. As I understand it, they were married for a long time.
