Cliff Richard, at the age of 85, revealed that he underwent treatment for prostate cancer.

The British singer Cliff Richard, at the age of 85, revealed that he underwent treatment for prostate cancer and emphasized the importance of regular screening for this disease. In an interview with ITV, the artist mentioned that, for now, the cancer has disappeared from his body, but he acknowledged that it is difficult to predict if it will recur.

Richard was diagnosed after medical tests conducted before a tour in Australia and New Zealand, explaining that the disease had not spread to the bones. He criticized the lack of a national screening program, stating that all men deserve the opportunity to get tested and start treatment early. His statements come in the context of King Charles III recently announcing that he suffers from cancer, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis.
