Sir Cliff went on: “He is the one who led me on to that spiritual pathway that changed my life fully and completely.“He showed me how important it was to be charitable and also be brave enough to speak openly of my faith.“Bill was one of those people who you could reliably lean on and I did, many times.”The musician added that Bill will be “missed greatly and will live on in the many hearts of those that loved and respected him…my heart being one of them.”He signed off: “God bless you Bill.

You deserve your Rest In Peace … Cliff.”Cliff recently opened up about the longevity of his career and his Christmas calendar "coming to an end" after 20 years.The singer discussed his latest Christmas album and his annual calendar, which he has been releasing every year for 20 years, during an interview with Good Morning Britain’s Richard Arnold earlier this month.Richard began the interview by asking Sir Cliff why it has taken him so long to release a Christmas album.The singer explained: "If you start doing Christmas albums over and over again, it could really be boring."I've heard a lot of Christmas albums recently, but they don't really make me feel like Christmas."Speaking about how the public will react, Sir Cliff continued: "Now you know.

in the end, you have to just hope it's what the public wants."The conversation soon shifted to Sir Cliff's annual Christmas calendar which has been running for 20 years, which Cliff admitted "must come to an end" at some point."You're not just talking about Christmas," the GMB host said. "The calendar, of course, is the gift that keeps on giving."Sir Cliff said: "We've done it for like 20-odd years now."So this year, I think the calendar has been photographed by people who came to the last.
