Tom Jones öppnar sig i ny bok
Albumaktuelle Tom Jones, 75, kommer nu med sin självbiografi, betitlad ”Over the top and back”.
– Det kändes som att det var på tiden. Andra böcker har skrivits om mig, men om saker som inte varit viktiga, säger Tom Jones om sin första officiella självbiografi.
I boken vill han ”reda ut ett och annat”, bland annat om sitt omskrivna kärleksliv. För egen del sätter han familjen främst, säger han
– Om jag hade varit singel hade jag inte haft samma drivkraft, jag ville inte bli framgångsrik för min egen skull utan för min familjs skull.
”Tjuren från Wales” har tidigare själv avslöjat att han haft sexuella relationer med runt 250 kvinnor om året under karriärens höjdpunkt.
