Sir Cliff Richard “Retiring is not in my vocabulary!”

At 81, Sir Cliff Richard has a lifetime of musical hits, film roles and more to reflect on. And he has no plans to stop making them any time soon.

WORDS by TIFFANY DUNK

When he was 12 years old, Sir Cliff Richard – then known as Harry Webb – sent a letter to a pen-pal he’d made in Australia. “My ambition is to be a famous singer,” he wrote. Decades later that same pen-pal gave him a copy during his first tour of Australia. “I don’t remember at that early age wanting to sing,” he tells The Weekly, “but there it was in black and white. So perhaps I did have that feeling! It wasn’t until I was about 15, I think, when I first heard Elvis that the desire grew into something that really overtook me. And I’m very happy that it did!”

As he releases a DVD version of his recent The Great 80 Tour which was filmed at the Royal Albert Hall, Sir Cliff reflects on his music, his fans, his faith and his dear friend, Olivia.

Extrait :

You’ve performed duets with some of the most amazing musicians in the world. Is there one who particularly stands out to you?

Olivia Newton-John, because we weren’t just singers, we are friends. Olivia first came over from Australia with her friend, Pat Carroll, and they were my vocal backing group. I was the first to introduce her on TV with her song If Not for You. She came to do one song, and she stayed for eight shows – I couldn’t get rid of her!

How would you describe your friendship with Olivia?

I can only say that our relationship still lasts. When I talk to her on the phone I always hear, “G’day Cliff, how are ya?” and she’s always on an ‘up’. She’s one of the most stalwart people I have ever met because (as we all know) she doesn’t like referring to her cancer as a battle. She says, “I’m just getting rid of something I don’t want.” Her strength is absolutely fantastic and should be an inspiration to anyone who’s sick in any way. I am so happy that she is a very, very close friend, and we love each other.

NEWTON-JOHN ADVOCATES FOR MEDICAL CANNABIS

National Post (National Edition)
22 Feb 2022

Olivia Newton-John insists “positive thinking” is vital amid her fight against stage-four metastatic breast cancer.

The legendary actress-and-singer was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992, which eventually went into remission, before her cancer returned in 2013, and metastasized to her bones in 2017.

Her husband, John Easterling, legally grows medicinal cannabis, to help ease her symptoms.

Newton-John, 73, told Australia's Who magazine: “Positive thinking is so important to living a healthy and happy life ... Medicinal cannabis is something that should be available to everyone who is going through a chronic illness or pain ... I'm very lucky to be married to a wonderful man .... ”

Newton-John said her determination increased after the death of close friend Kelly Preston — wife of her Grease co-star John Travolta — in July 2020. “Kelly was a lovely woman and incredibly tragic loss. It just strengthened my resolve to find an end to cancer.”

OLIVIA’S BEAUTY SAVIOURS

Woman’s Day talks to Olivia Newton-john on the importance of clean skincare

Woman’s Day (Australia)

21 Feb 2022

Australian brands are leading the way when it comes to natural and organic skincare and one group at the forefront of this movement is Retreatment Botanics, created by Olivia Newton-john. We spoke to the 73-year-old singer about clean beauty and her Retreatment Botanics skincare range.

Natural beauty is a huge movement now. How important is clean skincare to you?

It is vital to me that whatever

I put on my skin is as toxinfree as possible, and contains high levels of natural and organic ingredients. It’s also super important that I use skincare with minimal impact on the environment and all of Mother Earth’s living creatures. This is why it was a must that Retreatment Botanics be toxin-free and certified cruelty-free and vegan as well as certified palm oil-free.

Do you believe that natural and organic skincare can be as effective as conventional skincare?

Absolutely – even more so than things laden with chemicals and toxins! Plants have incredible healing power and that translates to our entire bodies, including applying them topically. Retreatment Botanics uses an extraction method called Australian Cellular Biomimicry. This technique extracts the botanicals from native Aussie plants, which survive some of the toughest conditions in the world, as they exist in nature. It keeps them stable until they can be delivered to the skin, allowing for optimal results.

What can we expect from Retreatment Botanics?

Initially, you can expect beautiful aromas and textures – a feeling of a retreat in your home. From there, you will notice your skin looks and feels refreshed from the very first ritual.

What is your favourite product – or three! – from the range?

I do love them all, but especially Kakadu Brightening

Serum and Restore Serum. They are both so delicious to apply, and I notice they brighten and hydrate my skin really quickly. I indulge in a ritual morning and night where I massage them over my face, neck and decolletage – I like to think of this as self-care teamed with skincare! My next favourite would be Instant Glow Face Masque.

It’s aptly named because this is exactly what it does – gives your skin an immediate glow. It’s my at-home facial, I apply it then relax as it does its work. I feel so refreshed and calm afterwards and my skin radiates.

Thank You Mr Kay !
