Where Is He Now? -
Rick Astley:
His single "Never Knew Love" peaked at number 70 in 1991.
In 1993, he released the album "Body And Soul" which along with a couple of singles, flopped in the UK, but was fairly successful in America.
He then disappeared from the public eye in the 1990s amidst rumours that he couldn't handle the fame.
After living in Gloucestershire for a couple of years, Rick settled down in Richmond in Surrey with his Danish girlfriend Lene Bausager. They now have a daughter called Emilie.
Recorded demos in his studio in Fulham.
After being out of the public eye for 8 years, in 2002 he released the album "Keep It On" and a Greatest Hits album shortly after.
Following his sell-out UK tour of 2004, Rick has signed a recording deal with Sony BMG and in September 2005 is due to release a new album.
Rick will be singing live at the Henley Music and Arts Festival in July 2005 and will be touring the UK later in the year.
In February, you can hear Rick on Ken Bruce's morning show on Radio 2 and he will also join the BBC Concert Orchestra on the programme "Friday Night Is Music Night" in the same month.
