Rick Astley is celebrating a landmark 60th birthday today, but rather than slowing down, the pop icon is shifting into high gear. To mark the occasion, Astley has released his brand-new single "Waiting On You," a track that blends timeless '60s soul with his signature baritone, kickstarting a massive year that centers on the highly anticipated "Reflection" UK Arena Tour.
Fresh off the back of a career resurgence that has seen his recent albums—including the #1 smash 50 and 2023’s Are We There Yet?—dominate the charts, Rick is ready to bring his legendary live energy back to the biggest stages in the country. Starting this April, the "Reflection" tour will see him perform 12 massive dates across the UK and Ireland, supported by very special guest Gabrielle.
