Sir Cliff's 'Gorgeous' Night with Elvis's Ex
20 Nov
Summary
- Sir Cliff Richard shared an intimate evening with Priscilla Presley.
- The pair dined together in New Zealand during Cliff's tour.
- Richard previously declined meeting Elvis due to his weight.
British pop icon Sir Cliff Richard, 85, has shared details of a delightful evening spent with Priscilla Presley, 80, the former wife of his idol Elvis Presley. The impromptu gathering occurred in New Zealand, where Sir Cliff is currently on tour. He described the occasion as 'gorgeous' and expressed how such moments 'light up my life.'
The singer's connection to Elvis Presley is well-documented, with Richard having previously revealed a surprising regret. In the 1970s, he declined a chance to meet Elvis, then had put on weight. Richard explained at the time that he wanted a photo with his idol where Elvis 'looked good,' a decision he later came to lament.
This anecdote resurfaced in late 2023 when presenter Alison Hammond questioned his reasoning on live television. Sir Cliff used the opportunity to advise others to seize chances to meet idols, regardless of their appearance. He also revealed his current eating habit of having only one meal per day.
