SIR CLIFF RICHARD CATCHES UP WITH TODAY — THE LEGEND RETURNS TO AUSTRALIA WITH HIS “CAN’T STOP ME NOW” TOUR
Sydney, Australia — Music icon Sir Cliff Richard joined the Today Show Australia this morning for an exclusive sit-down interview — charming hosts and fans alike as he reflected on his incredible 65-year career, his return to Australian stages, and the joy of still doing what he loves most.
At 84 years old, Cliff appeared vibrant, relaxed, and full of humor, radiating the same warmth that has made him a household name across generations. Dressed in a sharp blue jacket and smiling ear to ear, he spoke candidly about his upcoming “Can’t Stop Me Now” Tour 2025, which will take him across Australia, New Zealand, and the UK later this year.
💬 “I’ve always loved coming back to Australia — the people, the sunshine, the memories. It feels like home,” Cliff told Today co-hosts Sarah Abo and Karl Stefanovic. “I’ve toured here since the early 1960s, and the audiences have never changed — they still make me feel twenty again.”
During the segment, Cliff reminisced about his early days performing with The Shadows, his groundbreaking hits like “Living Doll,” “Summer Holiday,” and “We Don’t Talk Anymore,” and how his passion for music remains stronger than ever. He also spoke about maintaining his faith and health, crediting a simple, balanced lifestyle and a deep sense of gratitude.
When asked about the secret to his longevity in show business, Cliff laughed and replied:
💬 “I never thought I’d still be singing at this age. But if the voice still works — and the audience still wants to listen — why stop?”
The interview also touched on the emotional challenges he has faced over the years, including the 2014 BBC controversy that deeply affected him. Cliff reflected briefly, saying that while the past was painful, he’s chosen to move forward with forgiveness and optimism. “I’ve learned that peace comes when you stop looking back,” he said softly.
Fans flooded social media after the broadcast, praising the singer’s energy and grace. One viewer wrote, “He’s a national treasure — still humble, still shining.” Another added, “Cliff Richard proves that true class never fades.”
As the interview wrapped up, Cliff teased fans with a few notes from his hit “Devil Woman,” earning applause from the studio crew. He ended by thanking his Australian supporters for their decades of love and loyalty.
💬 “I just want to say thank you,” he said with a grin. “For every concert, every letter, every smile — you’ve all kept me going.”
Sir Cliff Richard’s “Can’t Stop Me Now” Tour 2025 kicks off this November with multiple sold-out dates across Australia and New Zealand before heading to the UK for a festive December finale.
And if his Today Show appearance proved anything, it’s this: Cliff Richard truly can’t stop now — and neither do his fans want him to.
