Rick Astley: The Truth About Never Gonna Give You Up, Shocking Confessions & Return To Stardom

On this week’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are joined by pop icon Rick Astley, whose legendary 1987 hit “Never Gonna Give You Up” made him one of the most recognizable voices in music history. The trio dive deep into Rick’s incredible career—from making tea at the studios of Stock Aitken Waterman to becoming a global superstar and internet meme decades later.


Rick opens up about the early days of fame, the pressures of the pop world, his shock retirement at 27, and the unexpected comeback that reignited his career. Expect laughs, confessions, and heartfelt reflections as they discuss everything from performing with Blossoms at Glastonbury to meeting Elton John and Paul McCartney.
