Better With Age

It's Rick Astley, bitches.

The '80s sensation has become a heartthrob in his 40s!

The dreamy Together Forever singer dusted off his dancing shoes and performed at some 80's showcase at Powderham castle in Devon, U.K. alongside Belinda Carlisle and other aging rockers.

But Rick's still looking good, bbs!

      ****could someone tell me what BBS stands for in Perez's posting please?

      Rick looks as stupid as he did in his 20's …but with about 20 more lbs of plastic on his face….keep him away from open flames or he'll MELT!!

      I HAVE BEEN IN LOVE WITH RICK ASTLEY'S HOT ASS SINCE I WAS 14 YEARS OLD. HE ACTUALLY LOOKS MUCH BETTER THAN THIS SHITTY PHOTO PEREZ HAS POSTED.
      HE MIGHT BE AN "AGING ROCKER" AS PEREZ STATES BUT THAT SURE IS BETTER THAN BEING AN "AGING FAT FUCK DICKHEAD UNLIKABLE BLOGGER WHO NO ONE ON EARTH NOT EVEN HIS MOTHER LOVES". GIVE UP THE CONSTANT COMMENTS ABOUT ANYONE EVER 20 BEING CONSIDERED "OLD" PEREZ, YOU ARE NOT THE 16 YEAR OLD GIRL YOU DREAM TO BE. WE ARE ALL AGING ASSHOLE, UNLESS UNTIL WE ARE DEAD WE AGE EVERY SINGLE DAY!

      I must have missed something in the 80's - when was this twat ever a sensation and a heartthrob? I thought he was a one-hit-wonder.

      Rick Astley is a fierce as they come. He needs to do a duet with Debbie, sorry, I mean DEBORAH, Gibson and they'd both be on top again.

      I saw him on some show around the time you were Rick Rollin' Us!!! He looked really sexy!!! Couldn't really dance in his video, but it worked for him!!

      You do know that he made incredibly anti-gay remarks, don't you?

    25. Freak says – reply to this

      Rick Astley is the man! He's got the voice of a Motown-produced black man. He's like the clean, male version of Amy Winehouse.

      "Never Gonna Give You Up" was his biggest hit, but then "Together Forever" made it to the charts as well, so *technically* he's not a one-hit wonder. "Cry For Help" was a good one too and my personal favorite by him. And yeah, this guy has a helluva sound! Blue eyed soul like the Everly Brothers!

      You know Perez, you're gonna get old too. You've already hit the big 30 - it's all down hill from here - your comments about age all the time is giving me a complex - when I was in my 20's I'd make snide remarks about peoples age too - well…flash forward 10 years - I decide to fight over a parking space and the bitch who took my spot said - Aren't you a little OLD to fighting over parking spots? - pay back IS a bitch and I deserved it - just wait til someone calls you Old! You won't be liking it.

      It was a fun gig and Rick A. was great. He was a bit cheesy asking the ladies to take off their panties, etc… but his voice was amazing. I was surprised he was the headliner though, there were other bands a bit more famous than him.
