Veteran performer Tom Jones has revealed that he plans to collaborate with Mercury Prize winners Elbow.

“I’m going to be doing something with them soon,” he told the Sun newspaper.

Jones, who will release a new studio album this autumn, didn't go into detail about the nature of the partnership.

The singer also spoke about his new album '24 Hours', insisting that it was something he had thought “very seriously about”.

And he told the newspaper that if it fails to sell he “simply won't tour”. “There'll be no point,” he added.
