Sir Cliff 'sick' of speculation


(Thursday September 04, 2008 02:11 PM)

British pop star Sir Cliff Richard is "sick" of media speculation about his sexuality, according to excerpts from his autobiography.

A British newspaper has printed details on his friendship with a US former Roman Catholic priest, which he says has been a blessing.

Sir Cliff shares his home with John McElynn, identified in media reports as a native of New York City. That was not news; the relationship has not been secret.

However, the 67-year-old singer comments on the relationship in his new autobiography entitled My Life, My Way but also insists that his sexuality -- a topic of enduring interest to some -- is no one's business.

Excerpts from the book were carried in the Daily Express.

In the book, Sir Cliff says that Mr McElynn looks after the singer's properties.

"He has also become a companion, which is great because I don't like living alone, even now," the star said.

He added: "As for my sexuality I am sick to death of the media's speculation about it. What business is it of anyone else's what any of us are as individuals? I don't think my fans would care either way."
