He may be 77-years-old but Tom Jones’ recent performance proves that he’s still got it in him.

It’s been a tough year for the ‘It’s Not Unusual’ hit maker.

Back in September, he abruptly postponed his American tour, citing health reasons.

A press release explained: “Following medical advice, Sir Tom Jones has announced that he will unfortunately be postponing his US tour … Tom sends his sincere apologies to his fans and looks forward to seeing them all again in 2018.”

A month later, he took to Twitter to explain that he underwent surgery for a new hip.

“Pappa’s got a brand new hip, yeah,” he tweeted to his fans with a photo of himself with a cane.

Now it appears that the Welsh crooner has adjusted to his new hip. He shared a video online of himself performing his monster smash, ‘Sex Bomb’.

“New hip RELOADED,” he gushed.

“It’s great to be back performing.”

Fans couldn’t believe that the rocker was thrusting his new hip so soon after his hip replacement.

One person wrote: “Still got it even though you are 77. Not many singers can give a performance like this.”

Another said: “You are one in a billion. The best voice there ever was or ever will be. Glad to see you are doing so well.”

A further message read: “Great to see you back Tom. Looking great.”

The music icon was in Germany for the Bambi Awards, where he received the Legend Award.

The ceremony celebrates the best in international sports, media and television.

It’s good to see Tom doing so well.

Are you surprised to see him moving around like that so soon after major surgery? What did you think of Tom’s performance?
