I think the days of me going on tour for six months are way behind me … It is so terrifying to be on tour for lengths of time because you never know what day you are going to wake up and that’s not going to work,” he said, pointing to his vocal cords. That said, there is still a shirtless picture of sorts in this year’s calendar. Indeed, the picture for this month shows the legendary singer wearing only swimming shorts while he raises a glass in a pool. He is mostly underwater though. Appearing on This Morning, he said: “Nothing ever seemed to be possible in the early days. We were written off as one-hit wonders. We lived from day to day. When I was told that I had had a top five album in eight consecutive decades, in fact my feet have not touched the ground since, because you can’t plan that.

Next year is my 65th year and here I am in the charts with the most popular artist of the decade and I am able to still compete. So I am just really happy about it.” Richard said he didn’t “know Stormzy at all”, adding: “I was going to say: ‘May the best man win’, but I am not saying it just in case he does win.” Sir Cliff had previously warned fans that his days of posing sans shirt for his calendar were coming to an end. He wrote in his most recent autobiography in 2020: “I suspect I have done my final topless photo for my annual calendar... it’s time to gracefully exit the Chip­pendales market.”
