Cliff Richard

[Caran]

Just watching the umpteenth repeat of An Audience with CR that I recorded earlier, still enjoy it, would love to see his latest concert but all venues are too far away. Any other Cliff fans about.

Think I`ll get his autobiography...what`s it called?

I know a gay couple who are very pally with him. They`ve never elaborated but I`m pretty sure of my opinion as to which way he swings. He hides it by saying he`s celibate. Maybe he is.

I've put links to this before but they always disappear. Google Elm Guest House, Cliff and the Krays....

Cliff Richard 'stole my wife' (after he'd secretly married an African princess)

In a hilariously indiscreet interview, former Shadows star Jet Harris reveals a very unexpected side to pop's Mr Clean.

Jet Harris, guitar legend and former bass player with the Shadows, is starting to talk about the day he was a guest at Cliff Richard’s wedding.
Whoa! Cliff’s wedding? Cliff ‘most-famous-bachelor-boy-in-Britain’ Richard’s wedding? What is he going on about?
Not five minutes ago Jet was assuring me that he never partook in mind-altering drugs, even in the most psychedelic of those days. Is he absolutely sure about that?

Cliff Richard has admitted sleeping with Jet's wife Carol Costa.
‘Oh yes,’ he says, eyes twinkling. ‘Believe me, there was a wedding — of sorts. It would have been early Sixties. We were in Africa, I seem to remember, and some Zulu chief invited us to his village because he was a big Shadows fan. It was a bit surreal, to be honest. He had this old gramophone on with Shadows hits blaring out.
‘Anyway, it was quite a party. He took a particular liking to Cliff, so much so that he made a present to him — one of his seven wives. The only trouble was that he had to marry this poor girl there and then. I remember the pair of them jumping over a fire in the ceremony.
‘But, who knows, it might have been legally binding in their tradition. Maybe they are still married!’
What an enchanting, if naughty, idea, that somewhere out there in the African bush there is a Lady Richard waiting to claim her rightful place.
Jet tells the story with genuine affection, though, just as he rattles through some equally entertaining anecdotes about the years that he tried — and mostly failed, obviously — to lead Cliff astray.
