SIR TOM JONES, 80, traded his LA home decorated by his late wife Linda for a flat in London. The singer and The Voice judge sold his £6.5million pad which he lived in for 20 years.

The exterior of the property included three balconies, multiple patio doors and was finished in an orangey-stone colour.
The property was also spread over half an acre of land and included a water fountain and stone sculptures.
Although the exterior of the property looked like an LA villa, the interior was very different and reflected the couple’s own unique style.
Leopard print was a common theme throughout the home across floors, walls and furniture.
The house was completely decorated by Sir Tom’s late wife Linda.
Leopard print rugs can be seen across the hallways and in the lounge.
Wood framed paintings and photos line most the walls along with dark wood furniture.
The living room also included two giraffe statues which were stood either side of the white, marble fireplace.

He said: “Apart from the photographs and some artwork, the man who bought it wanted the whole thing, furniture and everything.
“This was great for me because I wouldn’t have been able to put all that stuff into a flat.”
Sir Tom has since moved into a flat in London.
Linda reportedly insisted he return to the UK following her death to make sure he was close to friends and family.
He added: “She said, ‘You should get a flat in London’. She said, ‘You should go home’.”
