Singer Sir Tom Jones said he is planning to get a DNA test to discover whether he has any 'black blood', as he has always wondered if he is mixed race.
The 75-year-old "Green Green Grass of Home" artist said he was confused because of his olive skin and afro-style bright white hair and is keen to get a test done in the near future to gain a better understanding of his background, reported Female First.
"A lot of people still think I'm black. When I first came to America, people who had heard me sing on the radio would be surprised that I was white when they saw me. Because of my hair, a lot of black people still tell me that I'm just passing as white", he said.
The "Sex Bomb" hitmaker is keen to explore the ancestors of his mother Freda, who was of Welsh and English descent.
The star, who was born in Pontypridd, South Wales, said "When I was born, my mother came out in big dark patches all over her body. They (the doctors and midwives) asked if she had any black blood and she said she didn't know.I want to find out.
