Tom Jones bows out of The Voice 2013 for Oscar rehearsals

The Voice bosses have had quite a few absences to work around over the last few weeks, as two of their judges bowed out of audition and knockout recording sessions. 

We reported last week that Danny O’Donoghue missed a few days of filming, after falling ill and today it’s been confirmed that Tom Jones is also taking himself out of the country this week, so that he could travel to LA.

 The ‘Kiss’ hitmaker has committed to attend rehearsals for The Oscars, after being asked to perform at Sunday’s ceremony as part of a celebration of James Bond’s 50th anniversary.

The Sun reports that his Oscar commitments mean that Tom will miss the filming of some of the knockout rounds that are to be filmed this week. 

The knockout rounds have been poached from the US version of the show and added to the format, to lengthen the tryout rounds and cut down the number of live shows, which did not fare well in ratings last year..

Danny revealed last week that he was feeling a lot better and would soon be heading back to work and he tweeted:

“Thank you everybody for the support!! I’m on the mend now should be back in action by the weekend D) Danny”

 He added yesterday: 

“What a beautiful morning!!! On the way to record more of the voice. What’s everyone doing . D x”
