BRITISH singer Cliff Richard has been interviewed by police after police launched an investigation into allegations of a sexual nature dating back to the 1980s involving an underage boy.

    The 73-year-old pop singer’s house was searched earlier this month by police in connection with the allegation. Richard denied any wrongdoing.

    The singer’s spokesman said that Richard “voluntarily met with” authorities and has so far not been arrested or charged.

    With his backing group The Shadows, Richard was one of Britain’s most successful performers in the late 1950s and early 1960s.(SD-Agencies)
