Dame Shirley Bassey reveals she can no longer reply to fan mail
Dame Shirley Bassey has revealed that she can no longer reply to fan mail after surgery on her right hand.
The three-time James Bond theme tune singer shared her disappointment on Instagram:
"At this point of time, I'm sorry to say that due to up-and-coming hand surgery, I will no longer be able to reply to fan mail.
"I have had the privilege to meet many of you, and receive fan mail from all around the world!
"Through letters shared, I have read of your celebrations, your losses, your achievements, memories, dreams and even how my music has brought generations of families together. I am truly humbled".
For Bond Fans Only wishes Dame Shirley well.
