British police have searched the home of British pop star Sir Cliff Richard in relation to an alleged historical sex offence.
The police said the search warrant was granted after they received an allegation of a sexual nature dating back to the 1980s, involving a boy who was under the age of 16 at the time.
Sir Cliff, who's 73, is overseas and was not at his Berkshire home when the police searched it. In a statement, he said the allegation was completely false.
Sir Cliff, who was believed to be in Portugal, said he would cooperate fully if the police wanted to speak to him, the BBC reports.
