Some promising signs of a Cliff and Shads reunion here:

Could happen but they're all in their mid 70's now and i heard Hank hasn't picked up his Strat but it would be nice.
After the 2009 they said 'never say never' so who knows? Although i would have preferred just a Shadows reunion.

Funnily enough , both the Telegraph and Mirror reports have almost identical wording
to the announcement, except the Mirror features a couple of black and white photos of
the Marvin, Welch, Locking , Bennett line up.
Hmmmm? I know its Christmas but, could Sir Cliff be giving us an extra special treat?

Be nice to think that it might happen and, let's face it, it COULD be the Marvin, Welch, Bennett, Locking line-up too...

Let's hope. I'm sure they can all cope with a brief tour and it'll be a great swan song that they'll do as well as they always have. So I guess that kicks Shadowmania into touch?! Already prepared to buy my air ticket. My bet is that Cliff will get his wish to play the Albert Hall, another first for the group. Go for it, we're all waiting!~

My money is on a short season at either the London Palladium or Royal Albert Hall in 2018 to mark their Diamond Anniversary. But no tour.

I would doubt if Licorice would entertain such a thing as he is not doing as much now.
I also saw this report some time ago as it seems to be Cliff's stock answer.
However the Zimmerframe Tour could be coming to a city near you......Nah

If you read what Cliff says and comprehend it, you will realise it can't happen - 100 years ? He's joking

Get the buz go around, could be Cliff's goal to stay in the press/news....
If it ever happen the boys come together again to preform again, would it be topping the last 2009/10 tour?
They did go out with a bang (at the same time I find it a pity they didn't do the far east and ended in the London Palladium or RAH for the very last concert ever, because I think Britain deserves to have the last gig).
Writing this is maybe a contradiction, but we all had our goodbyes and tears with the boys in 2009/10 it was a nice closure .....maybe ( and I don't mean this in a bad way) it's good to keep it that way.....for a few reasons....
I would go if it happend but would it spoil my good memories???
Just my 2P

It does sound very open ended - and yet he's allowing us to believe it will happen and I don't think he would want to mislead us.

If you put together the various reports from 2016, I think it could be a short season at the RAH plus Glastonbury, but in 2018 as the 2017 tour is already organised.

It could of course be something completely different - an album rather than a tour. That would be good - half Cliff and the Shadows and half Shadows.
