AT 86, CLIFF RICHARD FINALLY MAKES PEOPLE LOOK AGAIN AT THE QUESTION THAT HAS FOLLOWED HIM FOR DECADES…He had fame, fortune, millions of admirers, and a career most singers could only dream of. Yet through all those years, Cliff Richard never married. For decades, fans wondered why. Was there one great love he could never forget? Did fame make an ordinary marriage impossible? Or did Cliff simply choose a different kind of life? Behind the smiling photographs and sold-out concerts is a far more personal story about love, faith, friendship, sacrifice, and a man who refused to live according to everyone else’s expectations. After nearly seven decades in the spotlight, perhaps the most fascinating part of Cliff Richard’s story isn’t who he loved—but why he chose the life he did.

Merle Haggard’s childhood was becoming increasingly chaotic when something entered his life that would eventually change everything: a guitar. His older brother Lowell gave him one when Merle was around 12. Merle began teaching himself, absorbing the records and styles of country heroes such as Bob Wills, Lefty Frizzell and Hank Williams. There were no expensive lessons preparing him for Nashville. There was simply a troubled California kid listening closely and learning how another man’s sadness could live inside a melody. Merle would still make plenty of mistakes. Music didn’t instantly rescue him from running away, juvenile detention or eventually prison. But the guitar remained. Years later, millions would recognize Merle’s voice within seconds. Perhaps that’s because he wasn’t merely learning how to sing songs as a boy. He was slowly learning how to tell the truth about his own life.
