Sir Tom Jones says singing "is saving my life" after losing wife Linda

Sir Tom Jones has said singing "saved his life", after losing his wife Linda.

The singer, who's 75, says he still pictures his childhood sweetheart when he's singing her favourite songs.

He was married to Lady Melinda Rose Woodward - known has Linda - for 59 years, and was at her bedside when she died in April.

Five months on he says returning to the stage has helped him cope.

The Welsh legend, famed for hits including Delilah, told how singing Linda's favourite songs brings him joy, especially his cover of the Lonnie Johnson song 'Tomorrow Night'.

Sir Tom, who was born in Pontypridd previously told how his life-long partner had kept him "grounded" throughout his glittering career, asking him "who do you think you are, Tom Jones?".

Linda died on April 10 at the Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, California.
