Sir Tom Jones on rival Engelbert Humperdinck: 'Once a c*** always a c***'

Sir Tom Jones discussed his long-running feud with fellow crooner Engelbert Humperdinck, stating that he will never resolve his problems with the 79-year-old singer.

Jones, 75, was recently axed as a judge on BBC's The Voice. Promoting his new album and book, he spoke to the Metro regarding his remaining bad blood with Humperdinck, an artist he once shared a manager with.

Asked if he would ever patch things up with his rival, Jones replied: "No. It's as I say – once a c*** always a c***".

There has long been reports of competition between the two veteran performers, with Wales Online writing that the pair "grew resentful of each other's success and developed a simmering rivalry" and "haven’t spoken a word to each other in the last two decades".

In 2013, Humperdinck reached out to Jones, tweeting: "Hey Tom, I think we should put our differences aside and record a duet in the honour of [former manager] Gordon Mills. What do you think?" Jones failed to respond.

Engelbert's a one-trick pony. Tom Jones is bordering on Bowie-like for his chameleonic ability to stay relevant. If Tom says he's a jerk, I'm not inclined to give 'Bert the benefit of the doubt.

Sorry to hear he's left The Voice.

I'm just amazed 'Engelbert' isn't his birth name.

Looks like Tom's been replaced by Boy George on The Voice.

Tom Jones had CSNY on his TV show and even sang lead while they performed "Long Time Gone." Case closed.

That's a hell of an indignity.

Tom also had The Who and a lot of other great acts. Tom has always been cool as far as I'm concerned. Englebert is second rate.
