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.

They’re not The Pogues though.

Rick is a delight. I am a total metal head and I was approx 4 years old when Never Gonna Give You Up came out. Not my demographic at all...

I'm loving Rick... he's even better live.
😁❤️

They're not the Pogues but sadly Shane is dead.

Aww there’s nowt wrong with a bit of Rick Rolling, he tries his best. There’s no harm in that. You can always choose not to watch?

I have enjoyed his bit , the fireworks went on a bit .

He is ace!

He's fucking brilliant tonight!!!

His aged well
The songs are classic
Never gonna give you up is just an 80s song that sums up the era
What's not to like eh!

I'm dying...😂

His backing band are fantastic, especially the singers!

YABU to say anything other than he's on fire tonight! HTH.

Teen DD is impressed he's jumped on the drums too

Every time I hear Never Gonna Give You Up I think Pete Waterman can get another train set now 😂

This is a fucking brilliant concert!

Yep, my fifteen year old son, too. Knew all the words, especially after 2 glasses of champers, Rick’s duet with the singer from Texas was also great.

The 2 lady backing singers are diverse.

I hope he doesn't get his trousers caught in the foot pedal like he did at Glasto 🤣🤣

He did a Smiths set at Glastonbury with the Blossoms
Made me smile all the way through
Nothing like music to bring people together!

Eh?

That was fantastic, brilliant set to watch.

Happy 2024 Everybody - let's make it rock!

This is far better than when Robbie Williams performed a few years ago (and Rick’s aged better too).

He's brilliant tonight!

His backing singers appear to be black and mixed race, OP, does that help?

I've just had a look. You can buy his new album on BRIGHT PINK CASSETTE. Fucking amazing. I'm now looking at concert tickets.

I am white and middle aged though. Maybe I shouldn't be allowed in because I will bugger up the audience diversity quotas.

We watched (and still are) an old Bruce Springsteen concert, turned it up when the dog started shaking because he doesn't like fireworks. Its a second between one year and the next. Why bother with an overgrown muppet or a nineties has-been when it is literally the same as every other night?
