Before Cliff Richard and the Shadows, there was nothing worth listening to in British music, according to John Lennon. Cliff Richard, in his highly anticipated new autobiography, shares his story, in his own words. With a hit in every decade since the 1950s, Cliff Richard stands alone in pop history. Growing up in 1950s London, he began his music career at Soho's legendary 2i's Cafe and is now approaching his 80th birthday with record sales of over 250 million and counting.

Cliff Richard was a pioneer, forging the way for British rock 'n' roll with his unique sound. The original British teen idol, his incredible story takes us into the studio of TV's first pop show, Oh Boy!, through 40 years of Top of the Pops, and playing live up and down the country and across the world, with a constant backdrop of screaming fans. Cliff looks back on his humble upbringing and how he went on to fulfill his wildest dreams by becoming a pop star and even a film star. He talks about finding Christianity, reflects on the ups and downs of life in the public eye, and reveals how the false allegations against him changed his life forever.

He has seen era-defining pop stars come and go and is still making new music, with a new project to be released this year. As a teenage Elvis-fan in Cheshunt, this may have seemed a distant dream. Here's his story of how he made it all happen.
