LATEST UPDATE: Sir Cliff Richard Shares a Heartfelt Travel-Day Tribute to His Tour Crew — “Nothing but the Best”
As his New Zealand journey unfolds, Sir Cliff Richard took a moment during his travel day to Wellington to once again highlight the people who keep his legendary 2025 tour running with seamless precision. With his trademark warmth and gratitude, Cliff shared a message that instantly touched fans:
“A good opportunity to thank Simon for holding the reins admirably on this tour (Australia and NZ), pictured along with our lighting maestro Del. A tough job, but total pros! Nothing but the best.”
In just a few lines, Cliff did what he has always done better than most — shine the spotlight not on himself, but on the hardworking team behind him. As fans have seen throughout the “Can’t Stop Me Now” Tour 2025, his appreciation for his crew runs deep. Whether it’s the stage managers, lighting designers, tech specialists, or the countless hands who keep each show beautifully afloat, Cliff never misses a chance to acknowledge the dedication that allows him to step onstage with confidence night after night.
The photo he shared — smiling beside Simon, a steady anchor throughout the Australia and New Zealand runs, and Del, the beloved “lighting maestro” who brings every stage moment to life — perfectly captured the camaraderie that defines Cliff’s tour family. They are not just colleagues; they are a finely tuned unit built on trust, respect, and years of shared experience.
Fans quickly flooded the post with admiration, praising Cliff not only for his musical brilliance but for his humility and continuous kindness. “This is why we love him,” one fan wrote. “He never forgets the people working behind the scenes.” Another added, “A true gentleman — always grateful, always gracious.”
Cliff’s travel-day update comes as he continues to draw enthusiastic crowds across New Zealand, following a triumphant run through Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, and Brisbane. At 85, he remains a masterful performer whose energy, vocals, and storytelling charm feel as vibrant as ever. Each show delivers a blend of treasured classics — “Summer Holiday,” “The Young Ones,” “Ocean Deep,” “We Don’t Talk Anymore” — wrapped in the warmth and sincerity that only Cliff can bring.
But what sets this tour apart isn’t just the music — it’s the spirit behind it. Cliff’s constant recognition of his crew reflects the values that have shaped his remarkable six-decade career: humility, teamwork, gratitude, and genuine love for the people who help him shine.
As the tour now moves toward Wellington, fans eagerly await another unforgettable night. And thanks to Cliff’s heartfelt message, they also have a deeper glimpse into the family-like bond that powers every moment onstage.
With every update, every smile, every thank-you, Sir Cliff Richard reminds the world that true legends don’t just perform — they appreciate.
