- Jan 3, 2006
AceShowbiz - Proudly received knighthood in the British New Year's Honors list announced on Saturday, veteran music artist Tom Jones now surely could use "Sir" in front of his name properly. Joining other fellow singers who previously had been bestowed the same honor, like Paul McCartney, Elton John and Mick Jagger, he was accompanied by Robbie Coltrane, Imelda Staunton, and Bruce Forsyth among others to be the member of this Order of the British Empire.
