Sir Tom Jones has thanked fans for their support following the death of his wife of 59 years, Lady Melinda Rose Woodward.
The Welsh singer has been publicly silent since he lost his wife wife ‘Linda’ on April 10 following a short but fierce battle with cancer.
On Thursday, the 75-year-old singer posted this message on his Twitter:
“A heartfelt Thank You to all who sent notes of their sympathy and support to me and my family over the last couple of weeks,” it read. “So many beautiful and meaningful things were said and reading these genuine and lovely messages has lifted us all. See you soon.”
Tom and Lady Linda had known each other since they were 12, both the children of coal miners in South Wales, and married in 1957 when they were 16.
Their son Mark later became Tom’s music manager.
