Tom Jones is on tour.

And we know what you’re wondering: On tour? Wait. How old IS Tom Jones?

He is 84 and yes, he has had a hip replacement in recent years. (Perhaps because of all the hip movement back then?)

But apparently his singing is nothing to worry about. Jones told the Mirror earlier this year: “Well, thank God my voice still works. I’m 83 years old. I can hardly believe it, but it’s true. When I sing I ask myself, ‘How the hell is this coming out of me?’ Honestly.”

We believe him because his voice has always been melodramatically superhuman. (Just listen to clips of him singing as a judge on the still-running British version of The Voice.)

Jones brings his Ages & Stages Tour to Mohegan Sun on Thursday, performing his hits like “It’s Not Unusual” and “Delilah,” as well as his popular covers of Prince’s “Kiss” and Joe Cocker’s “You Can Leave Your Hat On.” He can’t tour forever, even though it seems that way, so see him while you can.

Tom Jones, Thursday 7 p.m., Mohegan Sun Arena; starting at $70; mohegansun.com.
