Rick Astley is the singing superstar who gained worldwide fame in the 1980s with hits such as Never Gonna Give You Up and who is now being discovered by a whole new generation thanks to the viral internet phenomenon.

Now 57, Astley has 8 consecutive UK top 10 hits, more than 40 million album sales and 3 million TikTok followers to his name.

Besides which, he’s a thoroughly nice man.

Rick’s Pyramid stage set was one of the most talked about moments of Glastonbury last year, marking another huge moment of reinvention in a career which has spanned four decades. Harry Styles meets the Smiths, his performance was filled with nostalgia as well as being thoroughly joyful and reminded people of what they love so much about him

 There’s more to Rick than just a nice guy. Its long been understood that he wouldn’t write his memoir until his father’s passing, and his difficult relationship and the legacy of a troubled childhood….

Never is a book filled with nostalgia and famous faces, but also a book with real heart. With lessons learned and ups and down, it’s a proper memoir from someone with a completely unique perspective.
