Background

To celebrate Cliff Richard and The Shadows 50th Anniversary since they first started. Both acts reunited for the very last time to perform 55 concerts in the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The tour was split into 3 legs. The first was the UK then they moved on to Europe and went on to Australia and New Zealand for the 3rd leg finishing in South Africa on 14 March 2010.

During the UK leg of the tour there were a number of Television and Radio Broadcasts across the UK promoting the tour and the new album (Reunited). Some of the television broadcasts included the One Show and GMTV. At the end of the UK leg Cliff and The Shadows travelled to Germany to appear on Germany's Willkommen bei Carmen Nebel Show on 31 October to promote their new album. They performed I Could Easily (Fall In Love With You), Lucky Lips and their new single Singing The Blues. Also during the UK leg Cliff and The Shadows took part in various charity events up and down the country.

Throughout the UK concerts numerous celebrities were spotted watching the concerts.

On 14 October 2009 Cliff celebrated his 69th birthday on stage at Sheffield Arena, where a sell-out crowd of 11,000 fans all sang Happy Birthday to him.

All proceeds from the final concert in the UK performed at Wembley Arena on 23 October 2009 went to charity. This concert was also recorded to be broadcast on BBC Radio 2.

After the UK leg Cliff and The Shadows took a break for 2 weeks before starting the European Leg of the tour. The European Tour went down well as they played to sell out crowds at every venue visited.
