Welsh veteran singer Sir Tom Jones has spoken out, questioning the decision to ban his classic song Delilah from being sung at national rugby matches.

It was announced by the venue’s owners in February that the song – whose lyrics feature a woman’s murder by her jealous partner – was no longer suitable to be sung by choirs at the national Principality Stadium in Welsh capital city Cardiff.

The song has been one of Jones’s most popular hits since its release in 1968 and, at a concert on Friday night at Cardiff Castle, the singer told the crowd he would continue to perform it.
