Washington
(ANI):
Legendary
pop
star
Sir
Cliff
Richards
has
confessed
that
he
was
once
scared
of
losing
his
career
owing
to
the
beatles'
success.
Sir
Cliff
has
revealed
that
while
the
beatles'
exploded
with
their
musical
invasion
during
the
1960's,
he
was
terrified
with
the
idea
of
losing
out
to
them
in
the
charts.
The
renowned
musician,
who
recently
completed
his
50
years
in
the
music
industry,
admits
loosening
up
only
after
having
spoken
to
his
manager.
"It
was
alarming
only
because
the
media
made
it
alarming," Contactmusic
quoted
him
as
saying.
"All
you
ever
heard
about
was
the
beatles,
every
day
for
two
years,
almost
as
though
we'd
died
and
gone.
I
remember
sitting
down
with
my
manager
and
he
said,
'Are
you
still
selling
records?
Are
you
having
number
ones?
Are
you
selling
out
your
tours?'
The
answer
to
all
those
questions
was
yes.
So
then
he
said,
'Well,
why
are
you
bothered
about
the
beatles?'
That's
when
the
fear
left
us,"
he
added.
