Rick Astley on Generational Trauma, Gut Instincts, and Village Halls | Happy Place Podcast

There’s beauty in letting go and not having your life mapped out for you. That’s something musician Rick Astley has learnt in the years after calling it quits on his successful music career when he was just 27.

In this chat with Fearne, Rick gives some brilliant insights into what the music industry was like thirty years ago, how it’s changed, and how it hasn’t. Plus, he reflects on who his parents were and how, despite a difficult childhood, he’s able to see them as multifaceted humans rather than just parents.

Rick’s new album, Are We There Yet, is out on October the 13th.

Rick could give lessons on how to be a proper famous musician. Humble, polite, honest and genuine. Oh, and sober too. That always helps.

Just a great interview. I am 53 so remember Rick Astley's success from 1987 onwards and have seen his renaissance in recent years. I always thought his decision to quit was very brave and self-aware when many contemporaries would not have had the strength to take a stand in the name of self- preservation. It is impressive how reflective and thoughtful he is about his career and life in general. Above all, he comes across as a patently decent person. Those who show bravery rarely see themselves as such. In a world where so much is driven by ego, especially in the last forty odd years, he has coped with fame extremely well despite bumps in the road. A life well lived and deserved success!

He is simply a wonderful man. I put him on my cloning list. We need more Ricks.

I’m 55 and my kids are 20 and 18. And my son is listening to Rick A a lot more than I ever did. And he is singing and playing on his keyboard and playing the songs on Youtube and I have realized what a musically talent Rick A is. I wouldn’t have known if my son hadn’t been completely into 70-, 80, and 90s music.

This man is a legend, loved him in the 80s both he’s SAW cds are brilliant , he’s voice is amazing, plus what he did at Glastonbury with the blossoms was the icing on the cake , a career highlight singing the smiths hits , was the best thing I’ve seen from there

What a lovely conversation with two down-to-earth people. So many times Rick gets asked the same (annoying to him, I’m quite sure) questions that everyone already knows the answers to, but this one is refreshing. Love it!

Rick's speaking voice and singing voice are both so pleasant.

Nice bloke isn't he, If you didn't catch his Glastonbury Smiths set with the blossoms, either on TV, or like me actually being there, you've missed out in life just a tiny bit. I count it as one of the best gigs I've ever seen and that includes seeing the REAL smiths back in the day.

This was a beautiful 'chat'. Love this guy. Wouldn't we all love to be as authentic, self aware and true to ourselves as he appears to be?

Rick keep being yourself, it’s ok to drive. Not flying is kinda like not buying into everything. You aren’t different you just can’t be led. Chris-Miami
