Cliff Richard reveals year-long prostate cancer treatment and backs screening call

Singer, 85, says disease has ‘gone at the moment’ and hopes to join forces with King Charles to raise awareness

Cliff Richard has revealed he has been treated for prostate cancer for the past year. The 85-year-old singer said his cancer had “gone at the moment” and backed calls for a national screening test for men.

In an interview with ITV’s Good Morning Britain on Monday, he said: “I don’t know whether it’s going to come back. We can’t tell those sort of things but we need to, absolutely, I’m convinced, get there, get tested, get checked.”
