Welsh singing legend Sir Tom Jones has sold his Los Angeles mansion and returned to live permanently in the UK, following the death of his wife Lady Melinda Rose Woodward in 2016.
The 77-year-old star told the Sunday Mirror that he no longer felt comfortable in the home he shared with his wife of 59 years. 'That was our house in LA. I didn't feel comfortable there any more,' he said.
Lady Melinda died of cancer at the age of 75 in April 2016. Sir Tom revealed she had always been homesick for the UK and had urged him to return. 'She told me to go back the last week she was alive. She told me to get a flat in London,' he recalled.
The singer said the recent buyer purchased the house fully furnished, apart from photographs and some artwork. 'It was great for me because I wouldn't have been able to put all that stuff into a flat,' he added.
Sir Tom has recently returned to television as a coach on The Voice UK, alongside Jennifer Hudson, Will.i.am, and new panellist Olly Murs.
