Cliff Richard reveals that he has prostate cancer

https://www.the-independent.com/arts-entertainment/music/news/cliff-richard-prostate-cancer-diagnosis-b2884463.html

Veteran singer Sir Cliff Richard has revealed he was treated for prostate cancer over the past year, with the 85-year-old announcing the disease is currently “gone”.

The music icon used his experience to advocate for a national screening programme for men, urging early detection.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Sir Cliff said his diagnosis came during an insurance health check before a tour of Australia and New Zealand.
He expressed relief that the cancer was caught early, stating: “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.”
