Rick Astley (Never Gonna Give You Up)
Rick Astley is an English singer, songwriter, radio DJ, and podcaster, born Richard Paul Astley on 6 February 1966 in Newton-le-Willows, Lancashire, England. He gained fame through his association with the 1987 album "Whenever You Need Somebody," which sold 15 million copies worldwide and was certified Platinum. Aside from his music career, he is subject to the widespread internet phenomenon involving the unexpected appearance of the music video for Rick Astley's 1987 song "Never Gonna Give You Up". This joke, often called "rickrolling," involves a bait-and-switch where a seemingly unrelated link leads to the music video instead.
