Betcha Keith Richards will still be touring at 90!

Do people know Cliff Richard is gay?

Nothing against anybody, but I do think that generally he has not come out of the closet.

'Dick' Richard??

No, he never has. He's had a few known celebrity romances over the years, all with women, but people have been speculating on his sexuality since the beginning of his career.

From all accounts, he's a decent person. I read on wiki that he's been donating a tenth of his income to charity since 1966. Good for him, and his charities, if he's still at it.

I like the Shadows better without him, but "Summer Holiday" is a great pop song. (My mother used to have the single.) Cliff's solo hit, "We Don't Talk Anymore" is another great tune.

IIRC he's lived with his "close friend" and manager for many, many years.

Is this the guy who had a hit back in 1980 called Dreaming?

Are you trying to be funny?
Because if you are, I think it's in pretty poor taste, that's all!

But I've written a poem and I think perhaps it might help you.

"Oh Cliff! / Sometimes it must be difficult not to feel as if / You really are a cliff / When fascists keep trying to push you over it! / Are they the lemmings, or are you Cliff? Or ARE you, Cliff?

This better be the Motherfucker’s tourbus.
