Cliff Richard looked sharp in a white short-sleeved shirt and patterned tie as he put an arm around Jones, who wore a floral-detailed navy blue top.

A user was rather displeased that they did not perform together but commended Jones’ act as “brilliant” regardless. “Two “Oldies but still Goodies” x good on ya boys!!” some other comment read, with another teasing that only Cliff had the right silver hair color.

Thriving friendship

While their recent reunion sparked a sense of closeness between Cliff and Jones, the pair have not always had a seamless relationship. In 2020, Cliff made it a point to correct the notion that they were tight friends via his book titled The Dreamers. He explained that they simply bonded over their craft and never befriended each other as closely as the public thinks.

In fact, Cliff once had a rude encounter with Jones while in Barbados in 2021, recalling how they were seated next to each other at a barbeque but did not appear to bond much. Regardless, Cliff offered for Jones to stay at his Barbados home whenever he visited next.
