On 1 July, 2007, Jones was one of the invited artists who performed at Wembley Stadium at the Concert for Diana, joined on stage by guitarist Joe Perry of Aerosmith and British soul singer Joss Stone. He sang the British National Anthem before Ricky Hatton’s fight against Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas on 8 December, 2007. On 19 April, 2008 he sang the Welsh National Anthem at the Calzaghe-Hopkins fight in Las Vegas.
Although his manager and public relations staff have attempted to change his sex-bomb image and neutralise the knicker-throwing fans, to the delight of his audiences Jones has never toned down his behaviour in the shows. As of 2008, Jones continues to tour and record. A major portion of the year he regularly performs his show at the MGM Grand hotel, located on the Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, USA. His show at the MGM is performed in a cabaret style theatre. Other venues on his yearly schedule include numerous shows at Atlantic City, NJ and appearances in the USA, United Kingdom and Canada. Jones has recently[when?] made performances in South America.
On 17 September, 2008, Jones announced the forthcoming release of his retro-tinged album 24 Hours on the S-Curve Records label, his first release in the US in 15 years: “The fire is still in me. Not to be an oldie, but a goodie. I want to be a contender.” It is due for release on 17 November in the UK and 25 November in the US.[11][12]
On Sunday 16 November, Jones was invited to perform on BBC Strictly Come Dancing, where he performed the debut single from his album 24 Hours. On Sunday 30 November, Jones performed It’s Not Unusual and a number of songs from the 2008 album 24 Hours for ITV’s Here Come The Boys. “If He Should Ever Leave You” from 24 Hours was named No. 9 by Spinner as one of the best songs of 2008[2]. In February 2009 he did an exclusive Take-Away Show with Vincent Moon performing three songs live in front of a camera in a hotel room in New York[13]
Jones went to top of the UK Music Charts for the third time in his career thanks to a cover of Islands in the Stream with Ruth Jones, Rob Brydon and Robin Gibb. The song, inspired by BBC3 hit sitcom Gavin & Stacey, was released in aid of Comic Relief and reached number 1 on the 15 March 2009.
Jones sang God Save The Queen, the National Anthem of the United Kingdom, during Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton’s boxing fight in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 2, 2009.
