Rick Astley

Overview

It has been 23 years since Australian audiences have been visited by Rick Astley, and now fans can reacquaint themselves when he returns to The Tivoli.

It is the pop hits of the ‘80s that catapulted Rick Astley into international stardom, with classics such as “Whenever You Need Somebody” and “Together Forever” holding him in good stead in the UK Top 10 charts. That was until the release of his ultimate success with the song “Never Gonna Give You Up” which not only soared to number 1 in 25 countries, it became an internet phenomenon by means of the classic “Rickroll” – the official video for which has been viewed over 55 million times online. It is the power of the internet and the maintained affection for Rick Astley that brought him back into the spotlight in 2008, and his reignited passion for live performances is bringing him to Brisbane.
