From the Telegraph a couple of weeks back:

"Sir Cliff Richard disclosed yesterday that he invited Tony Blair to spend a holiday at his home in Barbados because the Prime Minister seemed so "dwindled and haggard" after the start of the war in Iraq.

The singer said he had simply wanted to do "a good deed" for someone who had to do "a terrible job."

Sir Cliff, 65, also disclosed that he had first got to know the Blairs after Mrs Blair contacted him looking for free tickets to one of his concerts."

I understand that the couple have a combined income of about £400,000 pa.
