CLIFF RICHARD - RICHARD SHOCKED BY YOUNG FOLLOWING

RICHARD SHOCKED BY YOUNG FOLLOWING

Veteran singer SIR CLIFF RICHARD is stunned when young people buy tickets for his live shows - he can't understand why they would want to see him perform.
The Devil Woman singer has recently reunited with his group The Shadows for a set of gigs, more than 40 years after they split.
The 68 year old has enjoyed six decades of pop success, but he's shocked he's still attracting new audiences, because he doesn't think he's "hip" enough.
Richard says, "Every now and then on a tour you'll see in amongst the crowd... and you'll see people, (aged) maybe 25 or 30. You can see that they're a younger element and how they would even know about us, I don't know, because, you know, radio is not too rock and roll friendly anymore... There seems to be a kind of ageism thing and we're not considered 'hip' or 'in' and so I don't know how those young folks could ever possibly want to even come."
