Tom Jones Turns 85 & This Is The House He Lives In Today!

Legendary Welsh singer Sir Tom Jones is celebrating his 85th birthday in style—with a new BBC documentary, a sold-out North American tour, and a look back at his glamorous life, from his £2.5 million Welsh mansion to his current London abode.

A Milestone Birthday & New BBC Documentary

To mark his 85th birthday on June 7, Tom Jones is set to star in an upcoming episode of BBC’s In My Own Words, where he’ll reflect on his seven-decade career—from his early days in Welsh working men’s clubs to performing alongside Elvis Presley and becoming a global superstar 412.

“The new BBC Arts series made a big impression when it first aired last year, bagging some seriously credible names to profile. So with Sir Tom turning 85 this summer, the timing couldn’t be better to bring his incredible story to the screen,” revealed an insider 4.

The documentary will feature rare archive footage, personal reflections, and iconic performances, giving fans an intimate look at his journey—including his close friendship with Elvis Presley, his Las Vegas residencies, and his later reinvention as a coach on The Voice UK 413.

The Lavish Welsh Mansion He Called Home

Before settling in London, Tom Jones lived for a decade (1988-1998) in a luxurious £2.5 million mansion in Cowbridge, a charming market town in South Wales, just 30 minutes from Cardiff 5.

The property boasted:

• Five bedrooms

• A home cinema & bar

• Tennis courts & stables

• Expansive outdoor space

“A drive down Primrose Hill is the perfect welcome to Cowbridge, a 13th-century market town, often highlighted as one of Wales’ most desirable places to live,” described Visit the Vale 5.

The mansion was recently sold for £2.6 million, but Jones hasn’t strayed far—he now resides in London, where he was recently spotted partying at the iconic Tramp nightclub with comedian Jimmy Tarbuck 7.

Still Defying Expectations at 85

Proving that age is just a number, Jones is currently on his “Defy Expectations Tour”, performing 20+ songs per show, including classics like “It’s Not Unusual”, “Delilah”, and a show-stopping cover of Prince’s “Kiss” 1015.

A recent Clearwater, Florida concert review raved:

“His baritone voice, as versatile as ever, brought shouts and shrieks from the audience… The power ballad ‘Delilah’ and playful ‘What’s New Pussycat?’ held a retro feel and both garnered audience singalongs.” 15

Fan Reactions & Social Media Buzz

Fans have flooded social media with birthday wishes and tour excitement:

• “Tom Jones was AMAZING!!! He performed for 2 hours straight & his voice was still as strong & clear as always.” – Fan review from New Orleans 9

• “He is not 85 until 7th June!” – Facebook comment correcting reports 7
