Rick Astley Describes ‘Perfect Storm’
1980s pop star Rick Astley described his ‘worst experience on holiday’ as being in Bermuda during a storm in 1991, and seemed none to happy with the hotel’s dress code.
Mr Astley, whose music video spurned the internet meme rickrolling, is an English singer-songwriter best known for his 1987 song, “Never Gonna Give You Up”, which was a #1 hit single in 25 countries.
He told the U.K.’s Telegraph that, “We were in Bermuda during the 1991 ‘perfect storm’. The day before the storm everybody was wearing shirts and ties at dinner – I hadn’t realised there was a dress code and had to buy a jacket and tie out there – but come the next night, people were just hanging out in whatever clothes they fancied and nervously drinking at the bar as the storm began raging outside.”
“It got worse and worse throughout the evening and then they woke us at 4am – we were staying in a little wooden cottage in the grounds – and asked us to come into the main building. That was a very scary walk.”
“We’d got a note through the door the evening before warning that the storm was coming and that we might have to move into the main building.”
“In the main building they had taped up all the windows. It was an amazing thing to go through and quite frightening looking out to sea and wondering if this storm was going to involve a tidal wave. After the storm we all helped with the clean-up.”
“Then the next night they made us all put our jackets and ties back on for dinner. Ridiculous!”
He’s talking complete bullsh*t because I saw him. He saw staying at Ariel Sands – they have no ‘wooden huts’ or whatever he said. He had a fat unattractive girlfriend with him with a strong northern British accent. Not attractive at all. If that was the best he could do while young and a star, he’s probably doing absolutely anything for money now. Like giving some cheap interview. What a loser!
A one hit wonder!……….
