Dame Shirley Bassey values her family<\/p>\n
\nThe \u2018Goldfinger\u2019 singer \u2013 who is mother to Mark and Sharon, while her younger daughter, Samantha, was found dead in 1985 aged 21 \u2013 is proud to be patron of Noah\u2019s Ark Children\u2019s Hospital Charity in Cardiff because of her own connections to multiple generations of relatives.<\/p>\n
\nShe told Britain\u2019s HELLO! magazine: \u201cIt is my role as a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother that I treasure above all else.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThis is why the Noah\u2019s Ark Children\u2019s Hospital Charity is a cause so close to my heart, and one that I feel immensely proud to have been able to support over the past 20 years.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nAlthough the 86-year-old star lives in Monaco, her native Tiger Bay in Cardiff will always be home to her.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: \u201cI travel to Wales as often as I can. I am so passionate about this country, it\u2019s where I was born and raised and where I started my career.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThere is always such a warm welcome for me \u2013 I may no longer live there but I will always be the Girl from Tiger Bay at heart.\u201d <\/p>\n
\nThe \u2018Big Spender\u2019 hitmaker previously explained she regards her own music as \u201ctherapy\u201d and any problems she\u2019s having get put to one side if she\u2019s got a show to put on.<\/p>\n
