Rick Astley looks every bit the 1980s legend for Camp Bestival performance as he jumps on the drums to play an AC/DC classic

Rick Astley lit up the stage at Camp Bestival Shropshire in a suave pink suit  on Saturday.

The legendary pop star, 58, is best known for his 1980s hit Never Gonna Give You Up and performed it along with a host of other songs at the huge music event over the weekend.

The singer donned a wine coloured suit for the performance and rocked his signature quaff.

His whole look was styled out by the white electric guitar he used during his headlining set.

But fans got a surprise when he opted to perform something completely different alongside his classic hits.

At one point, Rick jumped on the drums to perform AC/DC’s Highway to Hell during his headline performance.

He told the crowd: ‘I played the drums in my dad’s greenhouse and I dreamed of being in front of a massive audience with a  ferris wheel and some beautiful lights and a gorgeous audience.

‘And all they wanted to do was rock. And here we are.

‘Do you want it? Scream for me if you want it!’  It marked six years since Mary Berry joined Rick Astley on stage as a surprise stand in drummer at Camp Bestival Dorset.

The stage was ablaze with flamboyant pink trees and Rick lapped up the support fron the crowd as he threw his arms out. 

The Together Forever crooner was a product of Stock Aitken Waterman in the 1980s and was labelmates with the likes of Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, and Sonia.

But he decided to quit the industry altogether for a period in the 1990s because he ‘didn’t want to do any of it’ anymore.

Speaking on Channel 5’s Stock Aitken Waterman: Legends of Pop Music, he said: ‘I don’t think being a pop star is a very natural thing for anybody but some people, some people manage to do it and some people are born to do it perhaps. 

‘I don’t think I was really. I had developed a fear of flying, I didn’t want to go and promote records. I didn’t want to do any of it, really.

‘I was super lucky that I had a massive amount of success in a very short period of time, somebody gave me a truckload of money for it and I could say ‘Okay, I’m done!’

 But Rick has continued to perform at festivals and in concerts over the last decade, and on Saturday he was joined on the billing by McFly played a nostalgic set which got hundreds of people at the Park stage singing and dancing.
