Legendary singer Cliff Richards says he would only retire if his vocal cords give up or if the audiences stop coming to his concerts.
The 72-year-old 'Move It' hitmaker believes the word 'retirement' is not part of his vocabulary, reported Daily Express.
"I think I would only fully retire if my vocal cords gave up on me or if audiences didn't show up at concerts.
"I don't want to embarrass them or myself by singing badly to empty houses. However, at the moment I'm still fighting fit so the word 'retire' is not in my vocabulary," Richards said.
"I'm looking forward to performing a lot of my hits and also some classic rock and roll hits from the past, some of which I recorded in Nashville earlier this year and will be released before Christmas.
"There's something special about coming face to face with the fans on tour and sharing those fabulous rock and roll memories that we all have," he added.
Cliff's Midsummer Nights Still 'Reelin' And A-Rockin' UK tour kicks off from June 1.
