Rick said: “These classic songs have been a part of me for so long. Singing them with a big band was a dream come true. I can’t wait to share this special experience with you again this Christmas. See you there!”

What better way to get into the festive spirit than a true celebration of Rick’s love of music, the roaring swing sound, classic tracks and many more. Tickets go on sale 9:30am, Friday 11 October via HERE.

On October 10, Rick Astley will also release his autobiography Never published by Macmillan. In his powerful and revealing memoir, Rick candidly recounts his formative years and unconventional upbringing, retraces his decision to leave the spotlight and provides intimate insights into family life and the challenges and rewards of new beginnings. From today, Rick also embarks on an in-conversation tour to discuss his brilliant new book.
