Remember When - Rick Astley

When my brother & I were younger we got to choose a tape for Christmas - mine was Kylie Minogue.

My brother's was Rick Astley. (Quite funny now that my brother is so anti-pop)

She wants to dance with Me was a big hit and made it to Number 1 in 25 countries.

Seems that he didn't want to be known for his dance/pop music and in the 90's decided to become a more "soulful singer"
Cant say that helped him much seeing as we didn't really hear from him again.

After 1993, Astley decided to retire from the music industry at the young age of 27 deciding that family life was more important.
During Astley's time out of the music business, he raised his daughter Emilie, born in 1992.
For much of the 1990s and early 2000s, Astley remained largely out of the spotlight. One notable musical appearance by Astley during retirement was as a backing singer on The Lion King soundtrack in 1994

Where is he now?

During the summer of 2010, he became a radio DJ for London's Magic FM, presenting a Sunday show. Initially the contract was 8 weeks but he proved popular with listeners and his contract was extended till the end of the year

Who out there liked his music?
