Olivia Newton-John Cliff Richard Royal Variety 1995

IainB1511: I Googled this about the drummer - Brian 'Licorice' Locking is still alive and not the original drummer of the Shadows. That would be Jet Harris (born Terence Harris) is also still around.

Oh and LL is still very much alive and performing in concerts!!!

Yes you are right!I have replied to IainB1511for you as well because he has skewed all the facts and that drives me crazy!!!

No,ONJ was engaged to BW that's well documented.Cliff didn't have an affair with the wife of Licorice Locking (who played guitar not drums BTW!?)he was rumoured to have had an affair with the wife of Jet Harris who played in the Shadows years before LL.John Farrar is married to ONJ's ex-bandmate Pat Carroll.

thats coming from a big thumb

Just simply Fabulous!

No IainB - it's fact not rumour
Google it : )
but she got her come-uppance

Karma - it never fails to deliver
; )

I used to really like her but this put me off her, just a bit.

Sorry I think you have this wrong, Olivia was engaged to John Farrar, (Marvin, Welch and Farrar fame). It was on the set of Xanadu that she met her former husband. Cliff had an affair with the original drummer of the Shadows (nickname was Licorace), who commited suicide shortly there after, leaving a young wife and family devastated.

I AGREE, THEY MAKE A WONDERFUL COUPLE.

Surely one of the beast duets ever, should have been a massive hit, but Olivia has practically been ignored by the British media/airplay for twenty years! Cliff and Olivia's voices match very well on all of their duets, but I hate most of her other duets with other singers who's voices don't compare.

so? Olivia's worth it. I'd do the same!

True, but the point I was making robandden ; )
Newton-John dumped Welch as soon as he was 'free'

not nice

takes 2 to tango, I am sure Bruce Welch was involved in his marriage break up also.

Newton-John broke up the marriage
of Bruce Welch ~ The Shadows. His wife & young family were devastated. As soon as the marriage was over Newton-John dumped him, WElch had a complete nervous breakdown... he'd lost everything.
Karma was not far away for Olivier, her own husband ran off with their younger prettier nanny.
; )

Olivia and Cliff ... always a class act!
