    • Kariéra sira Toma Jonese v riskantním a nestabilním oboru, notoricky známém krátkými uměleckými životy, trvá už přes padesát let. Ale jak se klukovi z velšské hornické rodiny podařilo dosáhnout světového úspěchu? A jak přežil zvraty slávy a bohatství a zůstal nejen stále zajímavý, ale ve skutečnosti se s  věkem stal ještě důvěryhodnějším a  zajímavějším? Ve své vůbec první autobiografi i se Tom vrací k minulosti a cestě z válečného Pontypriddu do Los Angeles a  dál. Vypráví historky o  vzestupech a pádech svého fascinujícího a pozoruhodného života, od počátečního rozkvětu k  následným neplodným létům až po pozdější období uměleckého znovuzrození. Syrová a upřímná autobiografie jednoho z největších světových pěveckých talentů všech dob.

      In a career that has spanned six decades, Sir Tom Jones has performed with almost every major recording artist, from Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis and Sinatra, to Robbie Williams, Van Morrison and Jessie J, across every imaginable genre, from rock and pop to country, blues and soul. The one constant throughout has been his unique musical gift and unmistakable voice. In this, his first ever autobiography, Tom will revisit his past, both personal and professional, exploring the twists of fate that took a boy from a poor Welsh coal-mining family to global celebrity status. He will chart the stories behind the hits as well as the ups and downs of his professional life - from the heyday in Las Vegas and subsequent fallow years in the 1980s to his renaissance and comeback, thanks to the direction and management of his son, Mark - as well as shedding a light on the life he has led behind the cameras and the stage.
