Veteran singer Cliff Richard says he is not planning to retire from music anytime soon.
The 75-year-old pop musician, who has suffered a difficult two years after being accused of sexual abuse, said he does not bother about his age as music makes him happy and satisfied, reported Female First.
"It's important not to give in to age. It's just a state of mind. You need to keep your state of mind clear.
"Retirement is not in my vocabulary. It's too easy for us to think, 'Oh, I'm 76, I can't be seen doing that'. That's wrong, just wear what you're going to wear. Be what you are going to be," he said.
Richard said he feels fortunate that his health is still in good condition and because of that he is so far able to perform at his concerts.
"I've been fortunate, I've not had any major illness. I haven't had to deal with that. When I go on tour, I have to have this insurance company that covers me.
"I have to get checked up for everything," he added.
