Welsh sex bomb Tom Jones will be joining the nation’s top musical talent at Twickenham Stadium.
The legendary singer has joined the list of performers at the Help for Heroes concert.
He said: “It’s great to be able to do something for our troops, and it’s pretty rare to get the chance to do something fun and uplifting on home soil.
“Not only will this event help us understand what these brave men and women in service do for us, it will also help raise enough funds to really make a difference in their recovery.
“I’m proud to be able to help in any way I can.”
He will take to the stage along with That That stars Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow, Katherine Jenkins and James Blunt to perform in front of 60,000 fans and troops on September 12.
Aslo performing on the night will be a number of the UK’s best known comedy personalities including Peter Kay, Michael McIntryre and Jack Dee.
All proceeds will go to Help for Heroes to raise money to help fund further rehabilitation centres for wounded soldiers.
