In a 2017 interview with The Sun, Jones emphatically stated that he has no plans to marry again, dismissing rumors about a supposed relationship with Elvis\u2019 ex-wife Priscilla Presley.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still trying to get over that. I don\u2019t think I ever will, so the last thing on my mind is marriage,\u201d he expressed.<\/p>\n

Jones clarified to PEOPLE that he and Priscilla are simply friends. \u201cWe\u2019re not dating, but we do go out to dinner,\u201d he mentioned.<\/p>\n

In another interview with PEOPLE, Jones explained his decision not to remarry, citing the unique history he shared with his late wife as irreplaceable. \u201cI was asked the other day, \u2018Would you ever get married again?’\u201d Jones recalled. \u201cI couldn\u2019t because there\u2019s no history with anybody else.\u201d<\/p>\n

In September 2022, Jones paid tribute to his late wife, Trenchard, by performing \u201cI Won\u2019t Crumble With You If You Fall\u201d on \u201cThe Voice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow this song is very important to me,\u201d he stated. \u201cI try to pick songs that mean a lot to me. And this song is trying to tell you that people that you love, sometimes they need to be backed up. You need to give them strength and encouragement,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n

During Jones\u2019 emotional performance, fellow judge Anne-Marie couldn\u2019t help but be moved by the poignant rendition.<\/p>\n

\u201cI Won\u2019t Crumble With You If You Fall\u201d was penned by Bernice Johnson Reagon and originally featured on her 1975 album \u201cGive Your Hands To Struggle: The Evolution Of A Freedom Fighter.
