Iains - I would suggest any career harm to Cliff is negligeble, and little to do with this case.

He was in petty media publicised rows with the BBC years ago
for no longer playing his records on Radio 1 - to a 21st cent teen audience with absolutely no liking for Cliff's music...

His elderly & middle aged fan base is mostly rabidly loyal, and will support him unconditionally...

He is now an old bloke and lucky to still be standing, let alone headlining packed out arenas...

Which he can still do which no problem...


Considering all this, some might still say he protests too much...???
