Sir Tom sang a moving tribute to his wife on the upcoming season of The Voice UK.
Today marks the long-awaited return of The Voice UK, with coaches Sir Tom Jones, Anne-Marie, Olly Murs and will.i.am once again taking their seats in the spinning chair in the search for the next incredible singing talent.
Never a series to shy away from emotionally powerful performances, this season of The Voice UK will feature a touching tribute from Tom to his late wife, Linda Trenchard.
Asked if any of this year’s performers moved them to tears, Anne-Marie and Olly told press including RadioTimes.com about their colleague’s moving rendition of his song I Won’t Crumble With You If You Fall, which is inspired by one of the last conversations he shared with Linda before she died in 2016.
“Tom sang one of his songs called Crumble–” Anne-Marie said, with Olly adding: “To his wife.”
“And it actually, like, I had to walk off,” Friends singer Anne-Marie continued. “Not because it was bad! Because it was so emotional.
“You could see someone who loved his wife so much,” Olly agreed.
With more performances from the coaches to anticipate and a fresh batch of contestants hoping to win and walk away with a record deal and the prize money, The Voice fans will be pleased to finally see the series back on screens this weekend.
