US Grammy award-winning singer Richard Marx performed a cover of Tom Jones' classic hit Delilah at a gig in Cardiff and told the crowd banning it wasn't the best way to tackle domestic violence.
Chicago-born Marx won heartfelt applause with his rendition of the 1968 hit during his gig at St David's Hall on Thursday, February 2. It followed the Welsh Rugby Union's decision not to play the song at the Principality Stadium during the Six Nations.
And Marx spoke of his fears about songs being banned due to their fictitious themes. The singer spoke after he had performed his own 1992 number 3 hit Hazard which tells the story of a woman who disappears after striking up a relationship with a man who is accused of orchestrating her disappearance. The song leaves it up to the listener to decide if he is guilty.
