Cliff has revealed he is set to reunite with The Shadows for one final world tour. Cliff said that he had been in discussion with Hank Marvin, Bruce Welch and Brian Bennett - for some time and was hopeful plans would come together late 2009.

'It is almost certainly going to be the last time we will all perform together. We just wanted to get together and just do one last goodbye for all the fans.'

Cliff Richard was reunited with his 'Summer Holiday' co-stars at the unveiling of a plaque in his honour at Elstree Studios in Borehamwood on September 20th. Two stars of the musical comedy, Jeremy Bulloch and Teddy Green, surprised Cliff when he arrived for the event by hiding inside a red double decker bus just like the one driven in the film.

In a mail to the ICRM Jeremy Bulloch wrote: "I have bumped into Cliff a few times over the years and meeting him again at Elstree was great. Teddy was excited about the reunion as he hadn't seen Cliff since 1963. All in all a most enjoyable day. We even had "Summer Holiday" weather. Regards, Jeremy."

The Variety Club is hosting a Tribute Lunch on 19 September to honour Cliff's 50th anniversary. Special guests will come out of the woodwork to pay tribute to Cliff. One of them is Simon Goodall. Simon has been invited to perform songs from his own special “Best Of Me: A Tribute To Cliff Richard” album released last month.

Available now the 187-track 8-CD album set. To celebrate Cliff's golden anniversary in the music business, 'And They Said It Wouldn't Last [My 50 Years In Music]' spans Cliff's career with 8 CDs [early tracks, rarities, live recordings & more] and includes 35 previously unreleased recordings; and comes presented in a deluxe 12" x 12" picture box complete with a 10" 78 of Cliff's first ever single from 1958 'Schoolboy Crush / Move It', a 52-page photo book and an exclusive gold-plated commemorative coin [not available anywhere else]).
