Sir Tom Jones has spoken of his guilt over his wife’s death and the haunting possibility that he could have saved her by sending her to a doctor sooner.
The legendary singer says he is ‘partly to blame’ for Linda’s death from lung cancer in 2016 because, if he had acted earlier, doctors could have caught the illness when it was at a more treatable stage.
Sir Tom, 78, said that when he sings the couple’s favourite song, Bob Dylan’s What Good Am I?, the lyrics make him think hard about how he could have saved her.
Married for 59 years: Sir Tom Jones with his wife Linda in 1967. He has spoken of his guilt over his wife’s death
He told The Mail on Sunday: ‘The song is about someone who turns their back and someone who is not seeing what is really happening. It started to mean more. It’s like, “Why couldn’t I have stopped it?”
‘I was reading into the lyrics thinking, “Jesus Christ, was I partly to blame? Should I have woken up before?” I thought, “What could I have done?”
‘I couldn’t really have done anything because by the time we found out it was too late, so there’s not a lot you can do. But then you start to think, “What if I had forced her to go to the doctors?” Because she didn’t go. You think, “S***, maybe I should have said she had to.” ’
Sir Tom, who stars as a coach on ITV’s The Voice, which began a new series last night, revealed that singing the Dylan song – along with therapy – helped him cope with his grief at losing Linda, his wife of 59 years.

‘I got some of my musicians together and that was the first step,’ he said. ‘Singing has really helped me. Time is a healer.’
He added: ‘Another thing about growing old that I don’t particularly like is that you lose friends. But the great thing about going on and doing something you love to do is that you start to make new friends.’
Sir Tom, who moved to the UK last year because he found it too hard living in the couple’s Los Angeles home, says that despite widening his circle of friends, he doesn’t think he will find love again.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
