Singer Tom Jones revealed in a TV interview on Friday that he received a coronavirus vaccine, joking that he feels “bulletproof” after his second dose.
“I had both and now I’m bulletproof!” Jones said in The Graham Norton Show, according to a report by the Daily mail.
“It’s a great feeling,” added the singer-rider. “I thought, ‘I can go out and do some live shows now’, but then I thought, ‘You have to have an audience for that!’ If they didn’t have the jab, what’s the point? “
In the midst of the pandemic, Jones said the song still helps to keep his spirits up.
“I sing around the house,” he continued. “I sing even when I’m not paid for it! I love singing; I really like it and any chance I get to get up and sing I will go. “
Jones celebrated his 80th birthday last summer. In an interview with The mirror last year, the singer showed no signs of wanting to slow down or retire.
“I like birthdays,” said Jones. “People say, ‘What is it like to grow old?’ but I say, ‘What is the alternative?’ I don’t mind aging, because the memories are tremendous. “
“I don’t want to stop because God has been good to me and my voice is still there,” added the singer. “I want to do this as long as there is a breath in my body.”
