As a child, Rick Astley was thrust into the spotlight by his parents’ sadness prior to his birth, as he has said. The artist claimed that when he was very small, his parents divorced due to the loss of his brother before he was even born. “I think it did form me as a person, definitely, and formed a lot of my choices of why I went into music and why I wanted to be on a stage and why I wanted people’s attention – because I don’t think I got enough attention from my parents,” he said in an interview conducted in advance of the release of his memoir Never: The Autobiography.
Newton-le-Willows native Astley rose to fame at the age of 21 with the number one hit song Never Gonna Give You Up. After selling five million copies of his album Whenever You Need Somebody, Astley, now 58, departed the music business a few years later. He claimed that being a parent himself had an impact on the choice.
“Even though I was having an amazing career in music and I was so lucky to experience a lot of the things that I did, I think after four or five years of it I’d kind of had enough…and I think being a parent solidified that for me,” he stated to BBC North West Tonight. After his early triumph, Astley joked that it was “all downhill” from there on.
“To be honest, I never truly matured. I never went through the typical stages of growing up that individuals go through when they start college or their first jobs. and discover your interests, identity, and everything else,” he stated.
A new generation has become aware of him thanks to the social media fad known as “rickrolling,” which involves tricking people into unintentionally clicking on a link that leads to the Never Gonna Give You Up video. However, he claimed that his daily life is not unduly disrupted by popularity these days. “It’s just a really lovely thing that sort of floats through my life but it doesn’t overtake it,” he said.
