And Finally Artist News
Cliff worried for Miley
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 14 November 2013
Wow, you know things have got bad when Cliff Richard starts offering you career advice. He has said that he hopes Miley Cyrus will grow out of all that twerking and naked-swinging business.
Speaking to Sky News, Cliff said: “The industry has changed drastically and that damages young artists. They don’t have the same support system that we had, they wanted us to be happy. I just hope she grows out of it. This industry can be very destructive, I’m not sure why that happens, or why I was lucky enough to not have that happen to me. I feel families keep your feet pinned to the ground. I still think of my dad now”.
He added: “I don’t know whether she’s done the right thing. Will it see her through to becoming a mature star, or will it be thrown at her? Years ago a woman might be told ‘I won’t take your picture unless you take your top off’. I took my top off for a picture once. And after that I kept my vest on”.
Anyone who’s seen a Cliff Richard calendar in recent years will know that’s patently not true. Though I suppose he did keep his clothes on for this year’s centrefold.
