Memoir

The first full memoir from one of the world's most famous singers.

In a career that has spanned six decades, Sir Tom Jones has performed with almost every major recording artist, from Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis and Sinatra, to Robbie Williams, Van Morrison and Jessie J, across every imaginable genre, from rock and pop to country, blues and soul. The one constant throughout has been his unique musical gift and unmistakable voice.
In this, his first ever autobiography, Tom will revisit his past, both personal and professional, exploring the twists of fate that took a boy from a poor Welsh coalmining family to global celebrity status. He will chart the stories behind the hits as well as the ups and downs of his professional life from the heyday in Las Vegas and subsequent fallow years in the 1980s to his renaissance and comeback, thanks to the direction and management of his son, Mark -- as well as shedding a light on the life he has led behind the cameras and the stage. Tom releases a new studio album later this year, which he will be promoting globally, and shows no signs of slowing down if anything, Tom is pushing himself harder than ever before to explore the limits of his talent.

Sir Tom has had thirty-six top 40 hits in the UK and nineteen in the US, includingIt's Not Unusual, Delilah, Kiss and Sex Bomb.
