On The Comeback Trail!
Filed under: Anglophilia > Music Minute
Rick Astley is England's Dr. McDreamy.
The 80's pop star ages with hotness!
For those of you who were babies two decades ago, Rick Astley is the guy who sings Never Gonna Give You Up. That gem of a classic!
You know, the song in that video that plays when your friends 'rickroll' you.
We love his poppy stuff and were excited to hear that he's touring again. Then, we found out that he's only doing shows in the U.K. in May. No fair!
Come to America!
Astley seems content with his past success and does not plan on working on new material after the tour. He told an English paper, "The chances of that are so slim. I don't think I've got the energy. I've got the best of both worlds. I can go and stand in front of 10,000 people and sing a song that was a number one record right round the world, and then go home and not have one person recognize me."
Why you gotta be so sexy, baby?????

I remember in the 80s when he said something like AIDS was a judgment from "God."
No thanks, you can keep him.
OMG - What happened?
Good Lord…
so?
He tried to play The Supper Club in NYC a few years ago and canceled due to Visa problems, yeah, whatev! His voice was triple-tracked on those songs, probably can't kick it live. I also like Stock-Aiken-Waterman's Hazel Dean (dyke) song "Maybe (We Should Call It a Day)"
that song is amazing! hahahaha
First!!!!!1
I've been rick rolled about 40 times and it NEVER GETS OLD!!
But you know who I bet hates getting rick rolled??? Catherine Zeta Jones
did i do it??? =]
no
woopwoop he needs to make sure he does the same dancing too!
3rd
Looks like a big Homo!!!!
Hillary sucks hairy Balls
How much is HE paying you P?
I don't know about the rest of you - but i can't sit through another way of 'Never gonna give you up.' Please - why won't this just guy just give up?
If you rearrange the letters in "Rick Astley" you can spell "Tickley Arse"
ACK! He is NOT our McDreamy. Sean Slater off Eastenders, that is a perfect man.
The anthem of Anonymous!
dear perez..your bitchiness in amusing…but your choice of who to bitch about is amazing…why do you like this washed up man boy, and not jeremy piven..who is younger and sexier?
I don't know who he is but I'd like to follow his cum trail…
I must be getting old! I used to have his album on tape. Forgive me, I must have been 12.. LOL!
adored him "back in the day" and would love if he came over the pond and sang for us!
RICK ROLLED MOTHERFUCKERS!
Re: no thanks –
I HATE PEOPLE…
……………………I SAW A GUY IN A TATOO PIERCING SHOP THAT
HAD A SHIRT ON THAT SAID: I HATE EVERYONE
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ NICE SHIRT…
It would be EPIC if some celebrity had the balls to Rick Roll one of the late night hosts. Like, when it came time to do their movie clip, they just rocked a Rick Roll. That's pure win.

I'm going to the tour when it comes to London! Got my mum and her friend tickets for it… I'm more excited about Bananarama so looking forward to that one!
THIS IS SUCH OLD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you suck Perez!
Who the hell is he?
he sucks
my god he's ugly
Damn you Perez!!!!! Now I have that damn song stuck in my head!!! Uuuugggghhhhhhhh!!!!! lol
I just remember that huge voice coming out of that skinny red headed kid's body - it was crazy. He looked like 'Opie'. I couldn't look at him singing, because his voice evoked a more sophisticated image.
He looks like Horacio from CSI Miami.
Never gunna give you up
Never gunna let you down…
Why ya gotta break my heart like that Perez?? I was madly in love with him back in the 80's and would love to see him tour in the good old US of A! Nice to know he's still around, but he needs to make some new music already!
Rick Astley is NEVER!
gonna give you up
gonna let you down
gonna run around and desert you
gonna make you cry
gonna say goodbye
gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Are you taking the piss?
he has a wonderful soulful voice., you guys should all do a search on youtube coz he is just great.
his S.A.W. songs were very poppy yes. but after that he went on to do his own thing.
kudos for trying to revive his career again
I had a massive crush on Rick Astley back in the day. I wish he would tour. Damn he looks hot. TOUR RICK TOUR.
oh man, i was at work the first time i heard 'never gonna give you up' and the guy next to me leans over and says, 'hey, did you know this is a white guy singing?' i was like, 'shit.'
RICKROLLLLLLLED
We've all been Rick Roll'd.
#38 - butterglove
LOL!
And we will all be "Together forever and ever"
OMGGG I LOOOOVE RICK ASTLEY!
he plays on my myspace right now… not that i use it.. BUT WHATEVER!
if came to canada i'd watch!!!!
he looks terrible and I hope my parents did not have sex with his music came out because I WOULD REALLEY FEEL BAD ABOUT that We all in my humble opion want to belive we are cooler than we are
And you actually have the balls to ask if anyone cares about the Pumpkins after printing THIS shit??????
He must be needing funds to take more courses through $cientology … poor bloke
just called my parents ,and no his music was not the drive swiped my for head and walked away what else
You wonder if the Smashing Pumpkins are still relavent….and you support this crap? Rick Astley–you are kidding, right? I hated this crap in the 80's and it is still just that–CRAP. You love his "poppy stuff"….um, wtf else does he sing? More like "poppy crap" Remember those cheesy-ass videos he used to do too? HIDEOUS.
I will say agian what I have said before……anyone who tries to push the Jonas Brothers and Heidi Montag on the world such as yourself, has no business telling said world what we should listen to. Your taste in "music" SUCKS Perez.
Perez, you should have made this an actual rickroll.
You're doing it wrong
RICK ROLL'D AND TROLLED THIS THREAD i HAVE.
Dammit I got Rick Roll'd
OMG PEREZ PLEASE READ, me and my friend are your biggest fans in the Uk we saw you when you were in london and were like screaming nsync fans. But Im are hearty brit and I have to let you know Rick Astley is a Z list. If you want to write about something crazy here look up the kid Tom Daley!! MUCH LOVE PEREZ
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - seriously just stop writing about these heidi and spencer characters they piss us off and give you amercians a bad name
sorrry perez, but i agree with devil, you are doing it wrong.
if only you all knew…
We totally had one massive Rick Roll right before our $cientology protest on March 15th - it was hilarious !! EXPOSE THE CULT !! Ahhahahaha..

Re: HILLARY IS A LIAR!! –
You are so right. HILLARY IS A LIAR. GO OBAMA!!!!!!
OBAMA '08!!
THIS GUY IS AMAZING! He has a few good songs that I know of and I was born in '84… LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, 80's music. Better than anything now… always will be…
Oh the good 'ol days of the 80's. I LOVED that song and his dee sexy voice. He looks the exact same.
You actually got me to go on napster and listen to him. I was so in love with him when I was like 10!!!
DEAR MR HILTON:
YOU ARE A HUGE PRICK, PLEASE DIE
RICKROLL YUS
Even more exciting than the lovely Mr R. Astley is another 80's idol, the gorgeous Nik Kershaw of "Wouldn't It Be Good", "The Riddle", "I Won't Let The Sun Go Down", "Wide Boy", "Dancing Girls" etc etc etc… is also out n'about again this year. Who can forget the great scene played in the 80's film 'Pretty in Pink' with "Wouldn't It Be Good" in the background… "I've got it bad, you don't know how bad I've got it……. " Awesome!

HAHAHA PEREZ GOT KNOCKED BACK FROM VILLA! Made a certain someones night, who is fucking AWESOME UNLIKE YOU PEREZ!!!! hope you enjoyed your moment of SHAME!
I am saddened and appauled that you would put Rick Astley in your blog. You shouldn't put Rick up to be ridiculed and speculated about. He is a decent englishman, and you do this to him! Not putting anyone down on here, everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. But it really saddens me that you would do this to a great talent and overal wonderful person. I hope you find your heart and delete this blog. Good Day!
I LOOOOOOVE RICK ASTLEY. I STILL LISTEN TO HIM ALL THE TIME!
I LOVE, LOVE RICK ASTLEY, I HAVE SOME OF HIS EARLIEST CDS AND THEIR GREAT I HOPE THAT RICK HAS A HUGE COMEBACK, I FOR ONE WOULD RUN, NOT WALK TO THE NEAREST STORE TO BUY ANY OF HIS MUSIC. LOVE YOU RICK ASTLEY!
Holy Crap - I thought he was dead - I made a friend bring me a pin back from London to stick on my 90's beret of Rick Astley!
Where's the red gone Rick ??
To all you who don´t get it: some people never get old or out of style, Rick is one of them.
you needed this
He lies when he says he can go home and noone recognises him. I'm his neighbour and I know who he is………
Well, Rickster could always open for George Michael who recently announced he's coming back to the states…Must have been that spin on Pushy Daisies.
Ohhhh Perez! He is so NOT aging well…looks like his face is about to fall off. I can see why nobody recognizes him. haha! But he does seem to have his priorities straight- unlike most of the people profiled on this site.
I used to love him back in the day - I had three of his tapes. He should tour with George Michael - that would be hot.
I was always hot for Rick. He rocks!
Rick Astley is the sexiest man ever. I was crushing on him when I was 8. Post more Rick Astley, Perez!!! I want to see him tour in America!
