Green grass of home for Tom Jones

Sir Tom Jones is moving back to Britain after 35 years living in Los Angeles because his wife is homesick.

The Welsh singer is selling the Holly-wood mansion he bought from Dean Martin in 1974 on moving to the US.

Sir Tom, 69, made the decision after his friend Robbie Williams moved back home after several years in California. He said: “I've had a great time in LA but we think now is the time to move home. My wife Linda has been getting homesick and we have been talking it over for a while. I decided to move before Robbie but he got here before me.”

Sir Tom hopes to move before the end of the year. “Britain has always been home,” he said.

Two shocks in one week...really it's too much...first we lose Michael Jackson and now Tom Jones is coming home!! I suppose it will be okay if he doesn't start yelling again...

Well I read he was more English than Welsh so will he be moving to Hyde Park?
