Despite decades at the top of the music industry, Sir Tom said he still feels incredibly fortunate that he is able to walk onto a stage and perform.<\/p>\n
During an exchange with fellow coach Kelly Rowland, she described him as \u201c85 years young\u201d, reflecting when the conversation was recorded.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, 85 years young,\u201d Sir Tom replied as the studio audience applauded.<\/p>\n
Kelly then reflected on everything he had experienced during his extraordinary career, telling him he had travelled around the world countless times.<\/p>\n
Sir Tom simply replied: \u201cA lot.\u201d<\/p>\n
But it was his next admission that revealed just how much performing still means to him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just love the fact that I can still sing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Sir Tom Opens Up About Getting Older<\/h3>\n
For a performer whose career has stretched across generations, Sir Tom appears to remain just as enthusiastic about singing as he was when he first started.<\/p>\n
His comments also come at a significant moment in his television career following the decision that he will not continue on The Voice UK<\/em>.<\/p>\n But concerns about ageing and how long he can continue performing are not entirely new for the Delilah<\/em> singer.<\/p>\n Sir Tom previously discussed the same subject during a conversation on the programme in 2024 with fellow coaches will.i.am, LeAnn Rimes, Danny Jones and Tom Fletcher.<\/p>\n Speaking about his life in entertainment, he said: \u201cIt\u2019s a wonderful life, you know, show business.\u201d<\/p>\n He explained that the connection between a performer and an audience is still what drives him.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you perform on stage and you get that love coming back from the audience. You think \u2018What could be better than this?\u2019 and that\u2019s the way I still feel today. Like I did when I was a kid.\u201d<\/p>\n During that earlier conversation, will.i.am praised Sir Tom for continuing to inspire audiences and fellow musicians.<\/p>\n \u201cTo see you here, still being that inspiration and still being active, is just mind-boggling,\u201d he told him.<\/p>\n Sir Tom admitted he sometimes finds his longevity difficult to believe as well.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is to me as well,\u201d he replied.<\/p>\n Then came a surprisingly candid admission about the future.<\/p>\n \u201cAs the years go on, you think \u2018How long is this voice going to last?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Despite those thoughts, Sir Tom said he continues to surprise himself whenever he steps onto a stage and begins singing.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m on stage and I open up and there it is and I think \u2018Is that voice coming from me?\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n He added: \u201cAnd that\u2019s the God\u2019s honest truth, you know.\u201d<\/p>\n Sir Tom\u2019s comments offer a rare insight into how he views a career that has lasted for decades.<\/p>\n Rather than taking his voice for granted, the veteran performer appears genuinely amazed that he is still able to deliver the performances audiences expect from him.<\/p>\n His enthusiasm for live music has remained strong even as he has entered his 80s.<\/p>\n For Sir Tom, performing is not simply a profession he has maintained because of his success. His comments suggest the experience of being on stage and receiving affection from an audience remains one of the most important parts of his life.<\/p>\n That makes his comments about wondering how long his voice will last particularly poignant.<\/p>\n There was no suggestion in the supplied report that Sir Tom is planning to retire from performing. Instead, he was reflecting on his age and expressing gratitude that his voice continues to serve him.<\/p>\n The reflections come as Sir Tom prepares for a significant change following his time on The Voice UK<\/em>.<\/p>\n The singer revealed that ITV had decided he would not return to the programme, making clear that leaving the show had not been his decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sir Tom Jones has opened up about getting older and the future of his remarkable singing career after admitting he sometimes wonders how long his famous voice will continue.
