Rick Astley Returns after 17 Years with New Material
Rick Astley became an Internet sensation with the Rickrolling meme, but that had nothing to do with Astley himself. However, the Eighties phenom is back on his own steam, for the first time in 17 years.
The new track is called "Lights Out". You can find versions on Youtube as well as on Rick Astley's site, but be careful what you click, because... well, you know.
Astley was Number One in the charts for five weeks in Britain in 1987 with Never Gonna Give You Up. He went on to score with another seven Top 10 hits.
The 44-year-old has sold approximately 40 million records worldwide.
From web subject to web participant, Rick Astley signed up for Twitter.
