In 1987, Rick Astley released the debut album Whenever You Need Somebody. Its first single, "Never Gonna Give You Up," spawned a number one hit the following year and decades later became one of the internet's most enduring memes: Rickrolling. Last month, Astley reissued his debut album, and he's currently on tour. He joins us to talk about his unique career.
