Cliff Richard is celebrating his 53rd anniversary in the music business in Malta.
Mega Music Malta said that during his visit here, honours will be presented.
His many admirers were also being given the opportunity to dine with the legend during his visit to our island and this will undoubtedly be a unique occasion for his many admirers in Malta to dine with this music legend at the Grand Hotel Excelsior in Floriana on May 20.
Sir Cliff is expected to perform for half an hour during this dinner.
With his 123 singles, Cliff Richard has occupied a place in the UK charts for the equivalent of over 20 years.
His 50th anniversary as a show-business phenomenon was marked by a celebratory UK concert tour – ‘Cliff Richard – The Time Machine Tour’ –in 2008, plus the publication of a new autobiography – My Life, My Way – and the release by EMI of an 8-CD box set – And They Said It Wouldn’t Last! - comprising some of Cliff’s well-known hits.
In 2009/10 Cliff reunited with The Shadows for an extensive sell-out tour of Britain, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
Cliff’s knighthood, bestowed in the 1995 Birthday Honours for his tireless charity work, was the first such to be given to a pop star.
His practical support of so many good causes reflects the reality of his deep Christian commitment, which began in the mid-1960’s.
