84-year-old Sir Cliff Richard<\/a> has admitted that his upcoming tour could be his last, amid fears that he could be \u2018dead\u2019 by next year.<\/p>\n The legendary crooner and controversial gravy-maker<\/a> is set to embark upon a series of live shows in Australia<\/a> and New Zealand.<\/p>\n The octogenarian rock n\u2019 roll star has been a fixture of the music industry for almost 70 years<\/a>, having rose to fame with the hit single Move It in 1958.<\/p>\n He went on to release such hits as Living Doll (1960), We Don\u2019t Talk Anymore (1979) and Summer Holiday (1963), from his musical film of the same name<\/a>.<\/p>\n His global Can\u2019t Stop Me Now tour will get underway in Cardiff on November 30, before touring venues in Australia and New Zealand.<\/p>\n However, Cliff, who turns 85 in October, has admitted that this could turn out to be his \u2018farewell tour,\u2019 should the worst come to pass.<\/p>\n \t\t \t\t During an interview with the New Zealand radio station Coast, Sir Cliff \u2013 who was knighted in 1995 \u2013 admitted that he doesn\u2019t think too far into the future.<\/p>\n After all, he might be \u2018dead next year.\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018The thing I would have to give up probably at some time is touring. It\u2019s very wearing, and you never know when you wake up in the morning whether your voice is still there,\u2019 he shared.<\/p>\n \t\t Pressed on whether this would be his final ever tour, Sir Cliff said: \u2018I might be dead the next year!\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018So I don\u2019t even think about it anymore. It\u2019s one of those things. As I get older maybe I\u2019ll become less able to perform, so I can\u2019t say\u2019.<\/p>\n Elsewhere in the interview, he admitted that he wouldn\u2019t be breaking out his old dance moves.<\/p>\n \u2018I don\u2019t want to be an 85-year-old guy trying to be 18,\u2019 the Mistletoe and Wine singer told hosts Toni, Jase and Sam.<\/p>\n \t\t He may have once been credited as Britain\u2019s answer to Elvis Presley, but these days, Sir Cliff is best known for his colourful picture calendars<\/a>, released every year to the delight of grandmas and ironic fans everywhere.<\/p>\n The 2024 edition saw Sir Cliff posing aboard a luxurious cruise ship, showing off his collection of sunglasses and colourful shirts.<\/p>\n Of the calendar, Sir Cliff said: \u2018I have grown to love cruising, it allows me to relax and regroup, sometimes prep for new projects, and above all, to socialise with friends who join me on ship.<\/p>\n \u2018This calendar was fun to produce and allowed me to be creative in terms of where and how to take the images.<\/p>\n \u2018I am pleased with the result, it\u2019s not me on stage or in a studio, and I hope you enjoy it too!\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t The release of Sir Cliff\u2019s cruising calendar came in the wake of his \u2018fat shaming\u2019 controversy<\/a> which ensued during an ill-fated appearance on This Morning<\/a>.<\/p>\n Explaining his regret at not meeting Elvis, Sir Cliff told Alison Hammond<\/a>: I had one chance, through a journalist when I was promoting Devil Woman in the States. <\/p>\n \u2018At the end of the interview though, I said, \u201cCan we put it off?\u201d because he\u2019d put on a lot of weight, and I thought, if I\u2019m having a photograph taken with him and it\u2019s going to be hanging on my refrigerator, it\u2019s got to look good.\u2019<\/p>\n To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web \u2018You should never have put it off, just because they\u2019re a little bit heavier,\u2019 Alison joked back.<\/p>\n He went on: \u2018If you\u2019re a fan of somebody\u2019s, if you get the chance to meet them, meet them, even if they\u2019ve put on weight!\u2019<\/p>\n Alison retorted: \u2018Is that why you don\u2019t want me over at your house?\u2019<\/p>\n Got a story?<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve got a celebrity story, video or pictures get in touch with the Metro.co.uk<\/a> entertainment team by emailing us celebtips@metro.co.uk, calling 020 3615 2145 or by visiting our Submit Stuff<\/a> page \u2013 we\u2019d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n Arrow Arrow![\"LONDON,](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/SEI_259459262-8902.jpg\")
