Will.i.am Supports Petition to Bring Tom Jones Back as Coach on The Voice
Rapper Will.i.am shared an Instagram post supporting a petition with over 63,000 signatures calling for 86-year-old Tom Jones to return as a coach on The Voice UK. Jones announced earlier this month that he would not return as a permanent coach, stating that ITV dismissed him and offered only a smaller role. He criticized the timing of the dismissal on social media, noting he remains capable in his work. ITV responded by expressing gratitude for Jones's years on the program and confirmed that discussions are ongoing with Jones and his team regarding a potential role in the next season. Jones has served as an intermittent coach since the show began in 2012, previously sitting on the jury alongside Will.i.am for multiple seasons.
