Sir Cliff Richard set to mark his 80th birthday with a new album

Sir Cliff Richard will mark his 80th birthday with a new album.

The 'Devil Woman' hitmaker reaches the milestone age on October 14, and to celebrate the special occasion he's recorded two new songs, 'Falling For You' and 'PS Please', for the LP 'Music... The Air That I Breathe'.

The record - which is set for release on October 30 - will also feature his duets with Bonnie Tyler, The Bellamy Brothers, Sheila Walsh, The Piano Guys and Albert Hammond, as well as covers including The Beatles' 'Here Comes The Sun'.

Cliff said: "Looking back, I remember thinking that I wouldn't make it to 50 and here I am at 80, and what's even better than that is I have a new album!

"'Music... The Air That I Breathe' which features, not just me, but friends I admire who duetted with me on some of the tracks.

"I loved recording it and hope you will enjoy listening to it."

The music legend had already announced a tour to celebrate his 80th, dubbed 'The Great 80 Tour', which was due to kick off in Gateshead on September 23, and wrap with two consecutive nights at the iconic Royal Albert Hall in London on October 12 and October 13.

However, it's been postponed due to the ongoing threat of COVID-19.
