In August 2024, Tom reignited his feud with Engelbert Humperdinck.
The pair have been locked in a bitter rivalry for more than 40 years.
Who was his wife Linda Trenchard?
Tom was married to his childhood sweetheart Lady Melinda Rose Woodward for 59 years.
He was by her side when she died from a “fierce” battle with cancer in April 2016.
The couple had one son, Mark Woodward , who was born in 1957.
Linda stood by Tom throughout their marriage despite the lothario enjoying a string of affairs and admitting to sleeping with 250 women at the height of his fame.

Sir Tom once described his marriage as “rock solid” despite his affairs, saying “all the rest was fun and games”.
Linda and Tom enjoyed a private marriage and were rarely pictured together out in public.
Sadly, the singer’s late wife was crippled with agoraphobia, a fear of going outside, in later life and friends say the private woman feared being gossiped about.
In a rare interview, Linda once said: “I feel alive when [Tom] comes through the door, whatever the time of day or night is.”
Close friends said she enjoyed housework, watching TV and drinking champagne.
