Rick Astley rocking out with the Foo Fighters is the best Rickroll you’ll ever see

It’s no secret that Foo Fighters frontman – try saying that after a long day – and the nicest man in rock, Dave Grohl, loves Rick Astley. The 80s pop god’s sneaky hit “Never Gonna Give You Up” is a surprisingly good match for the post-Grunge band, and they’ve played together a few times, but the pair pulled off an epic stunt when they made this happen at the Reading Festival …

With that deceptive nod to Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, it has to be the biggest and best Rickroll of all time. Here’s what other people had to say about it.

Are you ready for Rick Astley and an accent like he could present Take Me Out to be rocking with the Foo Fighters because I wasn't https://t.co/b4Z8qS88k5

When I was younger I thought Morrissey was the coolest man on the planet and Rick Astley was an embarrassment to music. I now realise I had them the wrong way round… https://t.co/IFMtQOyMEH

Squeezebox maestro, John Spiers, made an excellent point.

If Rick Astley can pull off a festival collaboration with the Foo Fighters, maybe there's hope yet that Labour and the Lib Dems can work together to save us from oblivion with no-deal Brexit! pic.twitter.com/bO9nfvwOnf

And now we really want Jeremy Corbyn to Rickroll the Commons.
