SIR CLIFF RICHARD PRAISES AUSTRALIAN FANS AS “CAN’T STOP ME NOW” TOUR LIGHTS UP SOLD-OUT VENUES ACROSS THE COUNTRY
British music legend Sir Cliff Richard is performing to sold-out crowds across Australia on his acclaimed “Can’t Stop Me Now” Tour 2025, thrilling audiences from Sydney to Melbourne, Adelaide, and beyond. With his final show scheduled for Brisbane, the 84-year-old icon continues to prove that his timeless voice, charm, and stage presence remain as magnetic as ever — even after nearly seven decades in the spotlight.
During a heartfelt interview backstage at Sydney’s historic State Theatre, Cliff expressed his deep affection for Australia and the fans who have supported him for generations. “I’ve always loved coming back to Australia,” he said with a warm smile. “The audiences here are just wonderful — they don’t just listen, they sing with me. There’s such a sense of joy and connection, and it makes every performance feel like a homecoming.”
Cliff’s love affair with Australian audiences dates back to the early 1960s, when his records first dominated local charts and his tours drew record-breaking crowds. Over the years, his popularity has never waned — and the energy at his current shows proves it. Each concert on the Can’t Stop Me Now Tour has been a spectacular journey through his extraordinary career, blending rock ’n’ roll classics, heartfelt ballads, and fan favorites like “We Don’t Talk Anymore,” “Devil Woman,” “Wired for Sound,” and the timeless “Ocean Deep.”
Fans in Sydney were treated to an unforgettable evening as Cliff performed a mix of nostalgia and new vitality. His humor and humility shone through between songs, as he shared stories from his early days in music and moments of reflection on how far he has come. “When I started out, I never dreamed I’d still be doing this at 84,” he said. “But as long as I can walk out there, sing a song, and make people smile — that’s where I belong.”
Critics have praised the tour for its polish and warmth, describing it as “a masterclass in showmanship” and “a joyful farewell to a living legend.” The production combines elegant stage design, stunning visuals, and a perfectly balanced live band — but it’s Cliff’s voice that continues to steal the show, clear and strong as ever.
As he nears the tour’s finale in Brisbane, Cliff remains grateful and grounded. “I don’t take any of it for granted,” he shared. “The applause, the love, the memories — it’s all a gift. Australia has given me so much over the years, and I’ll always carry that with me.”
For Australian fans, this tour feels like more than a concert — it’s a celebration of an artist who has become part of their lives, generation after generation. And as Cliff takes his final bows Down Under, one thing is certain: his connection to Australia, like his music, is everlasting.
