Rick Astley Announces New Album And Winter 2018 UK Tour
Rankin
He has toured the globe, released a string of hits, he has produced his own music and performed to thousands of people in prestigious venues such as London’s Royal Albert Hall and London’s Hyde Park amongst others. Astley now returns with a brand new twelve-track album and an extensive eighteen-date Winter 2018 UK Tour. Here is what we know:
Two years ago Rick Astley returned with an album that surprised everyone, even himself. His number 1 album ‘50’ sold over 300,000 copies and was one of the biggest selling albums of 2016. What was even more incredible was that Rick wrote, produced and played every instrument on that comeback disc.
And guess what? He’s only gone and done it again! His new album, ‘Beautiful Life’, is released Friday 20th July 2018 on BMG with an iconic cover shot by Rankin. Each of the twelve tracks are written, produced and played by Rick. Highlights are many and include the Chic flavored title track, the evocative ‘Rise Up’, the insanely catchy ‘Try’ and the warm childhood memories of ‘The Good Old Days’.
After selling over 100,000 tickets on his 2017 tour, Rick and his band play eighteen UK dates, joined by very special guest Gabrielle – tickets go on sale Friday June 8th 2018.
You can find dates, venues and ticket links listed below.
In a career spanning over 30 years, Rick Astley has sold over 40 million records worldwide. ‘50’ has over 10 million UK streams, 20 million worldwide while his classic ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ has had over 140 million streams on Spotify alone!
