The Foo Fighters were joined onstage by a rather surprising special guest – English pop singer-songwriter Rick Astley.
Playing at Summer Sonic Festival in Japan, the rock band collaborated with Astley for a unique version of the 51-year-old’s 1980s classic Never Gonna Give You Up. Watch out for some rather colourful language…
Footage of the performance has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times on YouTube, with Aaron Tan’s version above ranking the number one trending video on the sharing site.
“Get Rickgrohl’d,” wrote YouTube user DeathfortTV. Another, everythingsuck, wrote “Never gonna smell like teen spirit” – in reference to a song by Grohl’s first band, Nirvana.
