The Rolling Stones marked their massive 60 year anniversary last summer, but there are a few artists out there who have been rocking out even longer.

Sir Cliff Richard released his debut single 'Move It' in 1958, and has announced a 65th anniversary 2023 UK tour to celebrate.

For his Blue Sapphire tour next year, Sir Cliff will play six shows at the London Eventim Apollo, as well as dates at the Blackpool Opera House and Glasgow SEC Armadillo

Tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster.

"Cliff Richard will be bringing a selection from his huge catalogue of hits back to the stage for this celebration," said promoters.
