Sir Tom Jones Stops Cardiff Gig as He Addresses Boos From Crowd

Tom Jones was on stage at Cardiff Castle when he spoke out about the controversy surrounding one of his biggest hits that was banned from use in Welsh rugby matches

WalesOnline 22 AUG 2025

Sir Tom Jones was booed as he addressed the controversy surrounding one of his signature songs on Wednesday night.

The singer, 85 headlined the Cardiff Castle for two nights from 20 August, and worked his way through classics like Whats New Pussycat, Im Growing Old and Sex Bomb for the crowd.

But things became heated when it came to Delilah, which was adopted as the Welsh rugby national anthem for many years until it was banned by the Welsh Rugby Union in 2023. The banning came as a result of the songs lyrical content, which describe a man murdering the titular Delilah after he discovers she has been unfaithful.

One line reads 'I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door she stood there laughing, I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more', and it was decided three years ago that the song should not be heard at major sporting events in Wales anymore as was thought to glorify violence against women

Speaking out about the banning, Tom told the crowds at his recent gig Who's that IDIOT who said we shouldnt sing that song anymore. That used to make my day that on an international match.

It was then that crowd booed in support of Toms backing of the song
