A Night with Rick Astley: In Conversation

Each ticket includes a special edition of his autobiography, making the evening even more memorable for those in attendance.

The Story Behind Never

Rick Astley’s autobiography, Never, promises to be an intimate look at the man behind the music. From his rapid rise to fame in the 1980s to his sudden retirement at the age of 27, Astley’s journey is one of reflection, challenges, and ultimately, triumph. The book delves into his experiences within the music industry, his personal struggles, and his decision to step away from the limelight at the height of his career.
