Welsh legend ends Pyramid show with EMF cover

Tom Jones returned to Glastonbury for a nostalgia-packed show on the Pyramid Stage today (June 28).

Now a veteran of the festival having first played in 1992, the Welsh soul legend greeted the audience as old friends, declaring: “We love you Glastonbury, God bless you.”

Backed by a full house band, Jones delivered a funked-up set of old favourites like Delilah and It’s Not Unusual for Sunday afternoon’s now-legendary heritage slot.

The show was heavy on the singer’s trademark cover versions ‘Kiss’ and ‘Sex Bomb, but he had one more surprise up his sleeve, encoring with a cover of ‘Unbelievable’ by ’90s electro-rockers EMF.

(I wish he’d continue to do Never, If I Only Knew and Unbelievable!)
