In a rare and moving statement from his home in London, music legend Sir Cliff Richard shared a deeply emotional message for the people of Texas, who are enduring one of the worst flood disasters in recent memory.
“Though I’m miles away,” he said, voice steady but full of sorrow, “my heart grieves with every Texan facing loss and heartbreak.”
For decades, Cliff has held a special admiration for the American South and its people—many of whom have embraced his music with warmth and devotion. Today, he returned that devotion with words of compassion and solidarity.
“I can’t imagine the pain of losing your home, your peace, or someone you love,” he continued. “But what I do know is that Texans are among the strongest, kindest people I’ve ever met—and I believe in their strength to rise again.”
Cliff also reflected on the power of kindness in difficult times—urging people around the world to hold the people of Texas in their thoughts and prayers.
“It only takes a moment of compassion to remind someone they’re not forgotten. And though I’m far away, I want you to know—I see you. I care. And I’m praying for brighter days ahead.”
The message, though brief, is already resonating across social media as fans from both sides of the Atlantic echo Cliff’s sentiment: that even across oceans, the human heart knows no distance when it comes to sorrow—and hope.
