RICK Astley will be staging summer concerts as part of Forest Live in 2017.

The soulful-voiced pop icon and multi-million selling artist will be performing at Delamere Forest on Sunday, July 2.

With his first No 1 album in 29 years, ‘50’, the Brit Award winning singer has pulled off one of pop’s most remarkable comebacks.

The album has gone gold and has been well received by fans and critics.

Astley was only 21 when he unleashed the iconic Never Gonna Give You Up

It became the UK’s biggest selling single of the year, topping the charts in 16 countries.

The song became the centrepiece of debut album Whenever You Need Somebody which sold 15 million copies worldwide.

Rick became the first male solo artist to see his first eight singles reach the UK Top 10.

The hits continued with Together Forever, She Wants To Dance With Me, Take Me To Your Heart, Hold Me In Your Arms and Cry For Help.

Fans can look forward to seeing Rick perform songs from his latest album and greatest hits.

Rick Astley said “2017 sees me celebrating 30 years in the music business since my first No 1 hit.

“I can’t wait to perform as a part of Forest Live.”
