Sir Cliff Richard shares cancer news
On Monday (December 15) Cliff appeared on Good Morning Britain, and took part in a pre-recorded interview with Dermot Murnaghan – who himself is being treated for stage 4 prostate cancer at the moment.
Although Cliff said his cancer had “gone at the moment” he admitted: “I don’t know whether it’s going to come back.” He added: “We can’t tell those sorts of things but we need to, absolutely, I’m convinced, get there, get tested, get checked.”
Opening up about his cancer diagnosis, he said: “I was about to embark on a tour which in fact ended this time at the Royal Albert Hall. But I was going to Australia and to New Zealand and the promoter said, ‘Well we need for your insurance, you need to be checked up for something.’ They found that I had prostate cancer.
“But the good fortune was that it was not very old and the other thing is that it has not metastasised. Nothing had moved into bones or anything like that.”
