Meet the die-hard Tom Jones fan who stole the show when she saw the Welsh singer perform for the seventh time – at the age of 89.
Sheila Sugden, who sleeps with a cut out of the ‘Delilah’ singer in her bedroom, was left stunned after her grandaughter, Lori Walker, got her a ticket to the concert. And the superfan became the real star at the gig last week when she went armed with a sign reading: “I’m 89 and still your No. 1 fan! Love you Tom.”
The grandmother, who has 11 grandkids, first began bopping to Tom Jones‘s music in 1965 after he stormed the charts with his first hit single ‘It’s Not Unusual’. And Walker, 25, said Sugden had an “absolutely blast” at her most recent concert after a group of ladies got her to the front of the stage – despite coming in a wheelchair. Walker said Sugden’s face was full of “pure joy as the 82-year-old pop singer began belting out her favorite tracks – including ‘Green Green Grass of Home’.”
