Sir Cliff: 'Music stars all look the same'

Sir Cliff Richard has claimed that all modern music stars "look the same".

The veteran singer said he was determined to be different from his fellow artists when he first appeared on the music scene in the 1950s.

Contactmusic quotes him as saying: "When I first started out in showbiz I didn't want to look like everyone else. So I went out and bought a pink jacket which made me different."

However, he insisted that today's musicians have no individuality, saying: "I just don't understand now why the young artists all want to look the same. They all wear the same baggy trousers and the same baggy tops. I couldn't bear to look like the rest."

Sir Cliff recently admitted that he once wanted to be Elvis Presley.
