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.

OP is so shocked she hasn't recovered yet 😂

Has the op come bank ?

Back

To be fair @DragonMama3 with a lot of famous men you can't really tell the difference between their wives and daughters in photos, especially if they have a 2nd/3rd wife by then! Good job Leo DiCaprio didn't have kids or he'd be dating their classmates by now... 😂

Rick is such a nice bloke, so glad that he's performing again.

You know the stage was pretty diverse so you can calm down fml... why would you want him to have a diverse audience?!... Will you be policing all events in future- maybe you can tell the gospel church their audience isn't diverse enough or Lady Gaga her audience isn't straight enough.

No-one normal watches something and jumps to such conclusions, why do you see diversion/ race everywhere? Isn't it normal to see JUST people?!

Dating their classmates !! Lol
True though

Like a fine wine! The concert was great really enjoyed it, want to see him live now! Yes middle aged and white, sorry not sorry.

I forgot he had red hair!

Reminds me of the idiotic Lenny Henry complaining there wasn't enough diversity amongst the festival goers at Glastonbury (ie it was too white) when it's literally a lottery to get tickets.

He had aged like a fine wine
Some men do though
( side eye at Dh )
.. lol
Who hasn't

I'm sure your hubby is spiffing. As is mine...

I have to say an enjoy tremendously the performances of older artists far more than younger ones. I find the modern younger performers very self indulgent and arrogant - whereas the Rick Astley’s, Rod Stewart’s, Michael Ball’s etc of the world (Jason Donovan was also amazing I saw him 2 years ago!) know how to work a room, know what their audience want and give it to them in spates.

Elton has honed the art of giving people what they want !
Nowt wrong with that

This. What a completely ridiculous OP.

Wow. You clearly weren't looking at the diversity on the stage. I've been to his concerts for the last few years and he always has the same backing singers. He's popular currently as a result of Glastonbury. Hardly his fault if the audience isn't diverse. What a ridiculous start to 2024 having to defend Rick Astley 🤣

Jason played my Uni - we paid 2K for a nights accom. He rocked!

He is very good looking in real life.

Photos and songs bring back a million memories
It's such a powerful thing

Wow, 25 minutes to 2024 and a new contender came out of nowhere to win the coveted "Stupidest thread of the year" award.

Clinched it right before the finish line.

Spectacular @idontlikealdi , truly spectacular.

I saw Elton about 20 years ago, he performed with bronchitis and honestly could have blown anyone half his age out the water!

Rick Astley is my ' hill to die on'
As they say in mumsnet land

Nothing more inclusive than some new years anagram fun. Anyone else spot that Rick Astley can be Tickly Arse?…..

Love Elton!

Elton rocked Glastonbury too last year!
Class act

This.
