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.

His Smiths set was brilliant.

Less than an hour into 2024 and already someone is offended. Tedious.

OddBoots · 01/01/2024 00:37

This has to be be one of the best NY performances we have had on the BBC. He is great.

the80sweregreat · 01/01/2024 00:38

The Blossoms were having a ball that night
Rick went on full on Morrisey
It was a Glastonbury classic

Can't say I've noticed until you pointed it out, love Rick Astley and am too busy singing along.

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

Love Rylan (but am glad his voice was auto tuned or whatever it's called!)
Went onto YouTube to show DD his Spice Girl mash up from X Factor! Truly fabulous!

At one point weren’t the backing singers (standing behind him) the gospel singers from the coronation?

LardyCakeAgain · 01/01/2024 00:40

This is a perfect example of how to do a comeback. Lean into the cheese, play some covers as well as the hits - no album filler tracks that everyone has forgotten - and look like you're having a great time on stage without being a twat. Happy 2024 all! 😎

the80sweregreat · 01/01/2024 00:40

The Blossoms are great though !
Rick is just so multi talented
I've always been a fan though

Well it’s no one’s fault if only middle aged white people bothered to get tickets 🤷‍♀️Anyone could have tried!

PuppyMonkey · 01/01/2024 00:41

I’m still hoping for a Smiths finale.

Babymamamama · 01/01/2024 00:41

Who knew rylan was so tall or are the others shorts arses?

ANightmareBeforeChristmas · 01/01/2024 00:16

He's aged well!

Does he have kids? If not, that'll be why Grin

ParrotsAteThemAll · 01/01/2024 00:42

Romeiswheretheheartis · 01/01/2024 00:27

Rick has a look of Kai off Strictly......

There’s a 30 year age difference between them. I know!!!!

JenniferBooth · 01/01/2024 00:43

I usually find New Year sad and depressing but that was really uplifting.....it really helped

the80sweregreat · 01/01/2024 00:43

Rick has kids
Not sure how old , but his daughter was pleased he did Glastonbury

Redglitter · 01/01/2024 00:44

Bloody hell who even pays that much attention to a crowd - other than the professionally offended

DragonMama3 · 01/01/2024 00:44

Rick has a grown up daughter Lene who lives in Denmark and is a garden designer..

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

HOWLING 😂😂😂😂

allmyliesaretrue · 01/01/2024 00:44

OMG that was the best NYE in YEARS!
