In his autobiographyk, Tom revealed how he fell for Linda when they were just 12 years old as they walked to school in Treforest, South Glamorgan.The couple were completely devoted to each other, despite Tom's dalliances with other women, which he admitted to in his book. In it, he spoke lovingly about his wife calling her "the one".
" never discussed, I was never put on the spot. Linda is a wonderful person and she would never put me on the spot. She loves being married to me and I love being married to her," he said at the time.The couple had a happy life together in a £6.5 million mansion in Los Angeles, but tragically Linda passed away in 2016 to a "short but fierce" battle with cancer., the musician said: "When my wife passed away – God bless her – I didn't know whether I would make it.
"I do not want help with my career or anything like that. I just want to meet my father before it's too late. As we both know, life is too short to let the important things pass by, so let me know when you get a chance."Tom is grandfather to his son Mark's two children, Alex, age 38, and Emma, age 34.
