Tom Jones’ estranged son makes desperate plea to finally meet his dad after hospital scare
Homeless busker Jonathan Berkery, 30, wants to make peace with the singer, 78, following his recent health issues
TOM Jones' estranged son has made a desperate plea to finally meet his dad after the singer's health scare scare this week.
Homeless busker Jonathan Berkery, 30, has made a public appeal in an attempt to finally make peace with the superstar.
Jonathan, who lives in New Jersey, has never met the Sexbomb crooner even after DNA tests proved Tom was his father.
After the Welsh legend was admitted to hospital this week battling a bacterial infection, Jonathan is now determined to finally meet the dad.
He told the : "He’s not well... I want to see my dad and make my peace with him.
"When I was younger, I was angry and confused. I didn’t want to see him. But now I worry about him constantly."
Jonathan went on to explain that he thought he might finally get the chance to get to know Tom after his wife Linda passed away in 2016.
However, it didn't happen and Jonathan is now worried he may miss his chance.
He added: "I just want to see my father before it is too late."
Jonathan insisted he doesn't want anything from his dad apart to just sit and talk.
He is believed to have been conceived when Tom had a brief fling with his mother, former model Katherine Berkery.
Tom's paternity was later confirmed with DNA tests and he was ordered to pay maintenance for his son.
