Sir Tom,
Your new album was just what the Dr. prescribed for me during a very difficult time. My husband just had double heart valve replacement and had several complications, so it’s been a long ordeal. I got your new CD the day before his surgery and have listened to it non-stop, to and from the hospital and the many lonely nights since his surgery. It’s been just the medicine my soul needed. You truly are better than ever! Thank you for sharing from your heart. The only thing I want to do before I die, is meet you.
I sure hope i get a chance to hear Tom do some of his songs from his new CD. I’m sad to say it, but it seems that Tom is pulling away from the U.S. I only see Vagas on schedule for the U.S. He has spent alot of time out of the U.S. and it seems to be getting even more so. I sure hope we still matter. I wonder if it’s some new plan from management to expand his touring etc. but please don’t forget us just because we’ve always been here. I missed two chances do see him due to his unfortunate illness, but i hope to have another oportunity to try again. Im going thru TJ with-draw, i need to see the man and hear that voice again! Please let us know when are the your U.S. fans going to see and here their favorite “Voice” and entertainer again. Love you, TJ
Because we first signed with Island records which is based in the UK, all of the initial publicity has been there. But fear not Sir Tom will be doing the same in the US, he values his American fans greatly so would never miss you out.
