Ready for an energising story of resilience, and a touch of nostalgia?

In an exclusive Australian interview on A Life of Greatness, Sarah Grynberg sits down with the legendary Rick Astley—singer, songwriter, and global pop sensation known for his enduring 80s hit Never Gonna Give You Up.

While the online “Rickrolling” movement may have introduced him to a new generation, Rick’s career has always been about more than one iconic song. In this candid conversation, Rick opens up about his incredible journey from humble beginnings to his rapid rise in the music business, his viral internet fame, and one of his most nerve-wracking career moments: performing at Glastonbury in front of thousands. He shares touching reflections on resilience, the wisdom he’s gathered over the years and the joy he finds in the unexpected.

Let this conversation remind you to embrace the ups and downs, celebrate where you came from, and always meet life’s challenges with a smile.

Never: The Autobiography by Rick Astley is available at any good book store and here.
