In the world of music legends, few names carry as much weight as Sir Tom Jones and Elvis Presley. The iconic Welsh singer, known for his sultry voice and electrifying stage presence, is a star in his own right. But even Sir Tom, who’s rubbed elbows with the best of them, has some wild stories to share about the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Elvis Presley. One particularly unforgettable memory has recently resurfaced, leaving fans rolling with laughter and wondering if it could possibly be true.
During an interview with Conan O’Brien, the 84-year-old Welsh crooner recounted a hilarious tale about a time when he and Elvis found themselves both “naked” together in a bathroom for the most unexpected of reasons. The story, now circulating on TikTok, is so outrageous that even the most avid fans can’t quite believe it. But Sir Tom insists it really happened.
According to Sir Tom, the whole debacle began with Elvis wanting to share a new song with him while they were on the road. But, as Sir Tom recalled, the King of Rock had a particular way of handling things that day. Elvis needed a shower, so naturally, he jumped in while Sir Tom was still getting ready. “He was singing all the time,” Tom said, laughing as he recalled the moment. Little did he know, however, that Elvis wasn’t just showering.
When Sir Tom finished his shower and stepped out, he quickly realized that the King had made himself comfortable in Tom’s bathroom. “He’d been to the toilet… while I was in the shower,” Sir Tom chuckled. But what made the situation even more amusing was Elvis’s attire—or rather, the lack of it. Tom described Elvis as being halfway dressed, wearing a tight leather North Beach outfit, one of the style staples of the time. The leather pants were apparently so snug that Elvis had difficulty putting them on by himself.
“So there he is, half-naked, with his pants down around his legs, cleaning and looking in the mirror,” Tom explained. Meanwhile, Sir Tom was attempting to towel down while Elvis serenaded him with his song. Imagine the scene: one of the world’s most famous voices, Elvis Presley, passionately singing a tune while Tom Jones, equally legendary, tried to regain some modesty with a towel.
The hilarity didn’t stop there. When Sir Tom pointed out that Elvis was indeed “half-naked,” Elvis’s solution was to call his bodyguard, Red, to help him. Sir Tom explained that Red came bursting through the bathroom door, presumably thinking there was trouble. But all Elvis said was, “My pants, man, my pants.” As it turned out, the tightness of his leather outfit was causing the king some serious wardrobe malfunctions.
This story is so wild that fans on social media have been left in fits of laughter, with some expressing disbelief. One commenter exclaimed, “Wow, that’s a story!” Another wrote, “That was brilliant,” while a third added, “From one legend to another legend.” Of course, there’s always one skeptic, with one person commenting, “I’m not convinced any of that happened, lol. A good story though.”
Whether or not you believe every detail, there’s no doubt that this hilarious bathroom mishap remains a memorable tale for Sir Tom Jones and Elvis Presley fans alike. Sir Tom himself confirmed the incident, proving that even the biggest legends have their quirks—and sometimes, those quirks lead to unforgettable, laugh-out-loud moments.
So, the next time you find yourself listening to one of their hits, just remember: Tom Jones and Elvis Presley once shared more than just the stage—they shared a bathroom moment that’s bound to go down in legend!
