Rating: There are plenty of senior citizens in pop, but not many who face up to their age. Tom Jones seemed in denial too, until, aged 68, he stopped dyeing his hair. Now here he is at 80, making an album called Surrounded By Time, which includes a song called I’m Growing Old.  It’s quite unusual. ‘I’m growing dimmer in the eyes,’ he sings.

The 80-year-old music legend - who became famous for having female fans throw their lingerie at him on stage - has recalled supporting the late 'Anyone Who Had A Heart' hitmaker in the late-60s, just as he had recorded what would quickly become one of his biggest hits, 'It's Not Unusual'. Tom was tucking into a pork pie and a pint at a pub near to the venue where he was supporting the Liverpudlian, when he heard a group of girls screaming outside, and had assumed it was for "thi...
