After 74 shows in 24 countries, Tom Jones isn't done yet.

"Hey everyone, that's a wrap for our Ages & Stages Tour in 2024, and what a year it's been!" said Sir Tom.

"Just wanted to express my gratitude to you all who came to see the show this year.

"We understand what it takes to venture out to see a concert these days, and I want you to know how much your time and effort is appreciated."

He continued: "From the stage, it has been absolutely wonderful for me, the band and crew to visit your neighbourhood and play for you each night.

"You all know how much I love to do what to do, and to share that space with you, there is nothing better.

"We close this chapter after performing 74 shows in 24 countries this year! (Not bad for a pensioner)."

Sir Tom finished: "We'll see you again, so until the next time, keep healthy and happy and keep the joy of music in your life."

Tom Jones has said in the past that the only thing that would stop him performing would be if he simply couldn't sing anymore.

"If something went wrong with my vocal ability, I wouldn’t want to go on not in full strength," he said. "I wouldn’t like to shortchange an audience."

The Ages & Stages tour was in support of Sir Tom's late-career higlight, 2021's Surrounded By Time.

That album was trailed by the single 'Talking Reality Television Blues', written by Todd Snider.

It also included versions of 'The Windmills of Your Mind', Bob Dylan's One More Cup of Coffee' and Cat Stevens' 'Pop Star'.
