Great, of course, for those early singles. Actually had more going for him on the SAW front than Bananarama eventually did.

That's pretty great for a boring Monday.

the first time I heard his voice I thought the tape was playing back too slowly...then I realized that was just the way he sang

WE'RE NO STRANGERS TO LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE....

the rick at 45/kylie at 33 thing is uncanny

i love, love, love "It Would Take A Strong Strong Man"

he looks like Thomas Hayden Church in that picture...or vice versa

"you wrong biscuit buying slut!!"

What could possibly worse than an English version of Michael McDonald?

I wouldn't define "Take Me To Your Heart" as very post-SAW. I actually think they produced that one, and Phil Harding - who produced most of that album - was a SAW protege.

Genius.

What happened with the scheme where people were trying to get Astley voted as the greatest artist ever on MTV Music Awards? I guess it didn't work?

Oh, somehow I thought it would've made bigger news or something... But I guess it still worked, nicely done.

Berlin – Best known for his 80's pop hit "Never Gonna Give You Up," Singer / Songwriter Rick Astley has passed away at age 43. Astley's body was found at the Angleterre Hotel in Berlin, after an ambulance responded to a 112 call from his bedroom. In this call Astley reported chest pain, shortness of breath, and nausea.

Paramedics found Astley unconscious in his hotel room. He was rushed to Charité hospital and pronounced dead at 12:32 am, June 30th. The cause of death is unconfirmed.

Astley was in the middle of a concert tour that would end in late August of 2009. He was to return to the United Kingdom at that time.

RIP

Believe it's a "joke". FFS.

im pretty shook right now - i grew up dressing like him and imitating his dance moves. i'm sure 99% of ilx had the same experience.

you tards

this isnt funny & no one should joke about this ever

hopefully he can find the peace that was so elusive to him on earth

The current wave of fake celebrity deaths continue, and tonight’s entry comes to us from Rick Astley

According to CNN’s iReport, Astley’s body was found at the Angleterre Hotel in Berlin after an ambulance responded to an emergency call from his hotel room. Astley was found unconscious in his hotel bedroom and was unable to be resuscitated. He was pronounced dead on the scene.

Unlike previous fake celebrity deaths, the use of CNN’s iReport gives this a little more legitimacy up front, at least if you don’t know how iReport works. iReport is open to all submissions without pre-publication review: I could submit a story saying Rick Astley is dead at the hands of an advanced civilization of alien music lovers and it would be published until such time CNN pulled it it.

Rick Astley is not dead, Rick Astley has not died, Rick Astley was not attacked by aliens either.

That link doesn't work.

they've been playing astley on the radio all night

Still no official denial.

RIP.

For some reason I'm sensitive to hilarious stories about blokes in their early 40s having heart attacks.

RIP noodle vague

You'll be old one day, sonny.

Rick Astley's dad is on CNN plugging Blu Ray technology.

There's a gold in them tharre mash-up.

This thread was actually Rickrolled from the very first post :)

I don't think that's funny at all.. and it's not even the original recording from Teen Spirit.. it's some guy playing it in his bedroom.

It sounds like "Smells Like Nirvana."

my brother rickrolled his own wedding over the weekend (cut to "never gonna" in the middle of a norah jones song), and all his nerd-ass friends rushed the dancefloor. i stayed up there and danced because i do like the song, but it was all pretty ridiculous.

wow

this was even mentioned in the Metro today.
don't get what all the fuss is about its pretty crap even for a bootleg.
must have been a slow news day.

Together Forever > Never Gonna Give You Up

Thinking back fondly to a couple of years ago when I rickrolled an industrial site on April 1.

Short version: there’s a morning meeting that the different maintenance groups have where they pull up a dashboard & click into the day’s new work requests. I went in the night before & changed the button to a rickroll link.

I wasn’t on site at the time, but apparently it was a smash hit with everyone under 50. The senior people were bewildered and angry. Result!

Together Foever is burned into my mind from my brief early-teen period listening to top 40 radio in 1987-88.

Found my sunglasses in the rolled up sleeves of my trench coat
