Live Gig Video: Rick Astley shares live video for new single ‘Pray With Me’
North West singer/songwriter Rick Astley seemed destined to be relegated to the late ’80s and early ’90s, when he made his name as a pop star. Following his ‘return’ thanks to the rickrolling meme, this past summer his massive hit ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ gained attention again when Melania Trump’s speech at the Republican National Convention in July when it appeared her speech stole from Astley’s (in)famous song.
We’re going to leave all that behind now and focus on Astley’s current activities, which include promoting his newest album ’50’, the age he is this year. Last month as part of a series of American dates, Astley and his band performed at the Ace Theatre at the Ace Hotel in Los Angeles. Sadly, his spring 2017 UK tour in March and April is all but sold out. However, luckily for us, this performance of single ‘Pray With Me’ was filmed at the show for posterity, and it’s clear Astley’s voice is in fine form, even after all these years. Watch it below.
