Rick Astley: ‘I Don’t Regret Retiring From Music at 27-Years-Old’ | This Morning

When i was a kid in the 80s always thought a black old man was the one singing.

These people they put on tv are just gross what happened to TV standards

Always retire on a high - don't wait until you're a NOBODY.

The word should be " quit " not retiring. Nobody at 27 yrs can retire from a job. They walk away & quit what they were doing.

LOVE the music! THANK YOU!!!

I came here expecting to get Rick Rolled;
was not disappointed.

Never Gonna Give you Up was apparently about his hair.

his haircut is timeless and forever

he still doesn't give up , let down or hurt anyone. a man of his words!

Absolutely MASSIVE respect for Rick. Amazing human. Well played sir.

yeah. at some point you might feel that everything about such a career is bit artificial. it is a show. and you grow a craving for more grounded reality. spending time with the family is exactly that. for getting the right balance there is no right or wrong. it is an individual decision.

..yeah it was huge in New Zealand 🇳🇿

Retired at 27. Even though he promised he was never gonna give us up.

Rick Astley What a very beautiful and humble man.
Love all of his music very gifted. ❤️🎼🎶🎙🎶❤️🎼❤️

Too cool. My favorite artist.
You are AWESOME Rick. 😊

He's absolutely spot on when he talks about therapy!

Still fantastic hair!

Healthy Guy!

He could retire at 27 cos he was sticking rich and his wife was happy to work.

Beautiful. You have eased my mind. Tx

kia -> RUN…!!!

Do i see a diversity hire ?

Ohh I loved his (one) song and found him so handsome when I was ≈10 y.o. lol 😂 Very nice interview. What a mature and intelligent person

He looks like, since he quit, he's aged 10 years.

His voice tone was so nice I loved his music and he seemed such a wonderful personality on interviews. Sounds like he made the best choice I’m sure saved his life. He listened to his inner self.

Most successful people hit their peak after 27. Rick Astley decides to retire.

people don't talk enough about losing their parents. It's a huge thing in a person's adult life. You hide it from the kids as much as you can to the point that you don't prepare them when they are adults.

Rick is unique musician, who has shared his great music with me and others over the years. He has good personality too. I have always loved his music always will!! 😊🙏🏾🤗❤❤

I'm actually tearing up. What a well rounded guy. He's got his priorities straight and he was there for his family.

Yeah his Glasto slot really got the crowds singing and dancing.....big part of my youth in the mid 80s when he came onto the scene.
And yes Pete Waterman is indeed a force of nature,knows what he wants etc.

Rick is now 58 and age doesn't count on him! 😊

Legend. Saw his xmas show last night in brighton amazing

You know, I think I like you, Mr. Astley. I've been listening to yo' music and I've been pleasantly surprised. You had a nice voice. I just love adult contemporary. Nah, I did a lil' bit of math and you were 27 in 1993. 1993 is the year that you fell off. Do not be upset at "falling off" because we're finding that ALL artists fall off after a certain period of time. Did you "retire" or did yo' label let you go because you weren't selling no records? I'm asking, respectfully, Mr. Astley. It happened to New Kids on the Block and Debbie Gibson as well. It's not yo' fault. It's the industry. They decide on how long you gon be a star. You hit hard in the late '80s and by the early '90s, you be lookin' around like "Dang, what happened? Don't nobody like me no more?" Thank God you made it because you were in a market w/ Michael Jackson, Prince Rogers Nelson, Madonna Ciccone and Whitney Houston. That's some tough competition.

His book is great , what a nice guy

Rick Astley is who Robbie Williams wishes he is hahaha

They did not pass out, pass on or pass over. They died...

What a thoughtful man!

What a real man we can learn so much from his story Ricks the best

I liked his music better than Taylor Swift

He is a great gut and a very great singer and performere and very importantly he is married to a Danish woman . 🙃

His 1991 hit, "Cry for Help" comes into a much clearer context now. We kind of wondered why he fell off the planet after 1992, with the whole world ahead for him. But it turns out, it was the right thing to do.

Astley was the first to do the Trump dance in the Never Gonna Give You Up video.

Rick, love you then & love you now... Together Forever

He’s better now than ever , a real class act and more importantly a class fella

Esse topete é perfeito, se tirar perde a graça.

To put my music career behind me and I was able to get therapy because now I could finally afford it you know course and then I wrote the book and now I’m ready to get back on stage perhaps in the recharge my batteries
