Bono joked about suicide if jones snubbed his song (Tiscali Music)
Rocker Bono threatened to slit his wrists if Tom Jones didn't record a new song he wrote for the Welshman.Jones asked the U2 star to come up with a tune for him during a night out in Ireland, but let him know that there was no guarantee the track would make his new album 24 Hours.Thrilled Bono came up with a biographical song, Sugar Daddy, about Jones and was so proud of the effort he wanted to make sure Jones would add it to the album.Jones says, "The note that came with the demo - because U2 demoed the song for me... - said, 'I hope you like it, Tom, and I hope you record... No big deal if you don't, I'll just slit my wrists.'"
