Mark Ronsons hum-zinger of a track “Uptown Funk” featuring Bruno Mars has been covered at the Lets Rock London festival over the weekend by the most unexpected artist and it actually… wasn’t that bad!

Although usually content pranking the internet that guy Rick Astley took to the stage with a purple suit and fauxhawx to knock out the 2015 hit by the soon-to-be Splendour in the Grass headliner.

We were half hoping “never gonna give you up” was going to spring through any minute now but Ricks soulful tones gave the original plenty of praise and more.

Who’s hoping Rick kicks off a cover band and tours Australia in the not so distant future!
