Rick Astley

[idontlikealdi]

Personally I think he's great and he's clearly living his best life but the demographic of the crowd. Middle aged white men and women. The lack of diversity is quite shocking.

I was 23 when that song came out !
.. so young , unlike now !' Lol

What a strange post. Tickets were on sale to anyone who wanted to go. Like others have said, you can’t round up people just to tick some diversity boxes. Yes many looked middle aged and white and maybe they do read the Daily Mail. Who cares? I really dislike this kind of attitude complaining about lack of diversity when it’s simply a question of personal choice.

I came on here to find a thread about Rick, he’s not only handsome with beautiful hair but has a wonderful voice.

Piss off with your negativity.

Glastonbury is incredibly white regardless of the acts that are on

I would guess this is his fan base

😆 Thanks for the laugh @idontlikealdi Started the year off with a bang on mumsnet, with a truly bonkers thread!

This really

Rod never had a great voice. At least he's singing to suit it, tonight.

Anyway he is entertaining and putting everything in to his performance

I thought Rod Stewart was ok he is 78

Haha I’m loving this thread. Just off to fetch my popcorn 🍿

What do you think of his duet with Rylan Clarke?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Laughing my head off at this thread and the idea that black and brown people should be made to listen to Rick Astley against their will.

Happy New Year MN. Never change! 😂

@gocompare PLEASE report back tomorrow

I’m really confused by this Rick Astley and Rylan? Is this what we pay our license fee for ? 🤣And did the bbc do the countdown 1 minute late?

It's 2024, and ten minutes into the new year, we got rickrolled. By Rick Astley himself. That's got to be a record!

I forgot Rylan started off as a singer, I'm quite enjoying the two together

Well I couldn't disagree with you more.

I'm with you!

I find it amusing that my primary aged kids love him. We've gone full circle from my primary years when I also loved him!

Rylan is not a bad performer but this whole thing is like a dream I can’t believe it’s real 🤣

Rylan was on the X factor once
He did well

Haha me too.
Signed a white woman, late 40's!

As you are absolutely entitled to.

I like him much better when he's playing The Smiths. This is a yawn-fest. Even As it Was sounded poor.

Are you accusing black people of being racist for not attending an (upper) middle aged white man’s concert?

I'm enjoying the post midnight section more - I actually know the songs to (badly) sing along with.

Please tell me this thread is a joke. I’m offended on behalf of my parents who are white, of pensionable age, but who love his music. Not their fault if another demographic chose not to buy his tickets FFS. They would not give a toss about the colour of skin of fellow fans when they attend his concert in March.
