ASTLEY RICK NEVER

The instant Sunday Times bestseller   'A straight-talking yet frequently astonishing memoir' -
The Times   'A book as idiosyncratic as it is nostalgic' - The Observer   When 'Never Gonna
Give You Up' propelled Rick Astley into the pop stratosphere  it irrevocably changed his life.
Nothing could have prepared the boy from Lancashire for what was in store for him.  At just
nineteen years old  Rick agreed to sign with legendary production team Stock Aitken Waterman 
giving him a peek into the mechanics of the music industry and eventually leading him to
platinum-selling albums and global tours. To outsiders  it would appear that the world was at
Rick's feet. Then  suddenly  at the height of his fame  it wasn't.  Behind the hits and the
glitz and glamour was a young man coming to terms with his new-found fame  the realities of a
career in the pop-music machine and the pressures of life on the road  not to mention the
fallout from a childhood spent torn between divorced parents in a volatile family dynamic. Time
away from the industry offered Rick room for much-needed reflection - and  unknowingly  helped
set the stage for his triumphant return to music.   Never balances nostalgia  fresh
perspectives and introspection  with a good dose of northern humour. An intimate look at the
man behind the hits  this is Rick's story  in his own words.
