Tom Jones 'Has No Desire To Quit Music'

Tom Jones has no desire to give up his singing career, even though he's turning 70 next year.

The Welsh crooner will be celebrating his big day in June 2010, and he'll still continue to release records.

"I've just got to be pleased that I've come this far, you know." FemaleFirst quotes him saying. "I'm going to be 70 next year, I think it's great."

"Some people go 'Ooh, getting older' and this, that and the other. I mean, what's the alternative?" Jones added.

"The older I get... I enjoy what I've done and what's happened through my career, you know, so I've got a lot of memories. But I mean my voice is still strong and I love going on stage because I love to sing."

"Even if I wasn't a professional singer, I'd be singing anyway because that's the way it is."

Tom Jones released his latest album '24 Hours' last year.
