Cilla Black 3D Scan

The life-size bronze statue of Cilla Black on Liverpool’s Mathew Street stands as a tribute to the beloved singer and television presenter, commemorating her significant contributions to the city’s rich musical heritage.

Unveiled on January 16, 2017, the statue is situated outside the original entrance of the Cavern Club—the very spot where Cilla Black worked as a cloakroom attendant before rising to fame in the 1960s. The unveiling coincided with the 60th anniversary of the Cavern Club, a venue renowned for its pivotal role in the careers of numerous artists, including The Beatles.

Artists Emma Rodgers and Andy Edwards collaborated on the sculpture, capturing a youthful Cilla with her arms outstretched, embodying her vibrant stage presence. The dress of the statue features squares depicting images and text from Cilla’s life and career, including song titles, lyrics, and personal quotes. Notably, the base resembles a 45 RPM record of her hit single “You’re My World,” adorned with an anemone flower, reflecting her wedding bouquet.

Commissioned by Cilla Black’s sons—Robert, Ben, and Jack Willis—the statue serves as a gesture of gratitude to Liverpool for the outpouring of love following their mother’s passing in 2015. Robert Willis expressed that his mother would have been “very flattered, proud and honoured” by the tribute.
