As one of the coaches on The Voice UK, Sir Tom Jones has had a long and successful career in the music industry. He has worked with many talented artists over the years, including Van Morrison, Robbie Williams, and Joss Stone. Among his close friends was the legendary Elvis Presley. However, despite his positive relationships with many musicians, Sir Tom has also had his fair share of feuds throughout his career.
One of his most publicized feuds was with fellow singer Engelbert Humperdinck. The two have not spoken for 40 years and have publicly expressed their distaste for each other on several occasions. In a recent interview, Sir Tom even referred to Engelbert as a "prick." It is unclear what caused their falling out, but Sir Tom has not shied away from sharing details of their tense relationship.
Another incident involving a fellow artist was when Sir Tom had an opportunity to perform with Dame Shirley Bassey at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee concert in 2022. However, Dame Shirley turned down the offer because she wanted to have her own solo performance. This led to neither of them performing at the highly anticipated event, which featured other big names such as Queen and Adam Lambert, Diana Ross, and George Ezra.
Sir Tom also had a rivalry with John Lennon, whom he first met on the show Thank Your Lucky Stars. During a rehearsal, John directed a homophobic slur at Sir Tom, causing tension between them. However, they later became friends, and Sir Tom even admitted to wanting to punch John in the moment but now sees it as his sense of humor.
In addition to these feuds, Sir Tom has also called out other artists, such as Sir Rod Stewart. In response to Sir Rod's comment about coming from nothing, Sir Tom pointed out that he did not come from nothing and that he had seen his parents in a documentary where they were hardworking people.
Despite these conflicts, Sir Tom remains a highly respected and talented musician in the industry. He continues to coach on The Voice UK and is always willing to share his experiences and opinions, even if they may cause some controversy.
