With tickets now on sale Rick Astley has announced further news relating to his upcoming Never Gonna Give You Up 2012 Australian Tour.
For the very first time in Australia Rick Astley and his 5-piece band will perform all the songs that have made him one of the most well known pop stars on the planet. As an extra bonus for fans in Sydney and Melbourne, Rick has also announced that he will be joined by Australian pop sensations Wa Wa Nee at The Enmore and Palace Theatre shows with an extra special appearance by 80's pop sirens The Chantoozies at The Palace Theatre show in Melbourne.
Wa Wa Nee stormed the Australian charts in 1986 with their platinum selling, self-titled debut album which spawned the top 40 hits Stimulation and Sugar Free. Wa Wa Nee's infectious brand of funk laced pop captured the energy of the times and saw the group become favourites on the local scene and delivering a further two top 40 singles with the tracks Can't Control Myself, and So Good.
At the same time Wa Wa Nee were dominating the charts The Chantoozies were delivering five top 40 Australian hits of their own. Songs including Witch Queen of New Orleans, He's Gonna Step On You Again, Wanna Be Up, Kiss 'n' Tell and Love the One You're With confirmed the female fronted outfit were firm favourites in the heady days of 80's and 90's pop music.
Rick Astley's hits including Never Gonna Give You Up, Whenever You Need Somebody, When I Fall In Love, Together Forever, She Wants To Dance With Me and Cry For Help amongst many others have won him a place in the hearts of pop music lovers the world over. Teaming up with the production wonder team of Stock, Aitken and Waterman, Rick's first 8 singles made the UK top 10 and his smash hit Never Gonna Give You Up was number 1 in 25 countries across the globe.
Rick continue to dominate the world's charts eventually selling in excess of 40 million records before his premature retirement in 1993. Continuing to write and record music throughout the 90's and into the new millennium it was the power of the internet that brought Rick back into the global spotlight with the phenomenon of 'Rickrolling' which saw his biggest ever single Never Gonna Give You Up viewed by hundreds of millions of people reigniting a desire for the blue eyed soul singer to return to the stage.
In November Australian fans will get the chance to enjoy all these songs completely live as Rick and his 5 piece band deliver what is sure to be a wonderful night of amazing hits and memories.
