Tom Jones is reported to be devastated after the death of his mother, Freda Woodward, this weekend, and as a mark of respect has announced he will be cancelling the Las Vegas gigs he was booked to play this week. Jones’ parents moved to LA some 25 years ago and his father is buried there – however his mother is expected to have her funeral and burial in her home town of Treforest, Pontypridd, in South Wales. The news shouldn’t affect Tom's performance at the Brit Awards later this month where he will pick up a lifetime achievement award.
