They've covered the smiths songs loads of times!

He loves The Smiths. Otherways, it's impossible to achieve this level of PERFECTION.

Thanks a lot for this. The Smiths never played this song live and what a perfect rendition Blossoms and Astley have done, I love it.

Hands down my favourite smiths song ever, they absolutely smashed it

This is surreal hearing Rick astley cover this smiths song!! Say what you will Rick astley is awesome

WOW! He seems to understand the fragility and beauty of this masterpiece, well done Rick I'm never gonna give you up♥️👏

I don't care what anybody says . This is heaven

He does a great job with the falsetto parts too! Total commitment!

The best compliment to The Smiths is performing their songs live.

I'm a long time Smith's fan, and this is absolutely brilliant 🤗😎🤩👍👏👏👏 Well done guys!!🎸🎸🎸🎤🥁

There is a light that never gonna give you up....

The whole set is great - but man when he hits those high notes I get goosebumps

My favorite Smiths song

Thanks so much to Rick and the Blossoms. I have loved this song for so long and since the Smiths are no more, I would rather hear this than either Morrissey or Marr performing it on their own.

I completely agree! Having three guitarists definitely helped capture the atmosphere of the album version too. 3:12 onwards was bliss!!!

Rick Astley and The Blossoms bringing remarkable music to a new generation live. Astounding vocals for those familar with the album version

I cannot believe I missed this. I would have sold all my belongings for a first-class ticket on B.A., to be there.

I think Rick could pull off Miserable Lie. What a singer

This is, without doubt, a wonderful thing.

"Is it really so strange" The Blossoms and Rick Astley and yet it works spectacularly!

80's Rick Astley?????!!! fuck i had no clue ... yes, please keep this music alive

Just astonishing. Brilliance from Rick and the Blossoms

I like a bit of Rick and love the Smiths and this is a great tribute, I love it and wished I was there. 👍❤️

this was a spot-on rendition of my fave Smith song! Bless the Blossoms, your 3 guitar set-up captured the atmospheric vibe of the song, and Rick's singing is a fresh take too...from Disco to New Wave, well that's impressive Rick! thanks to your brother by the way for the influence.

Well done. From a musician and a Smiths fan back in the 80s. I don't remember them ever playing this one live. Nice electric guitar backing the acoustic as well. Very nice guys.

This is just genius!!🎶💜👏 Thanks Rick!!🎤😎🤩

Simply beautiful ❤

Wow! This is really great 👍

Gasping,dying, but somehow still alive 🙏❤️💥

Thanks for sharing this video. This is my absolute favorite The Smiths song. It's just amazing how Rick Astley and Blossoms honor all the songs, and manage to bring their magic back! Thanks again.

melhor versão que ja vi na face da Terra 🌎

This is pretty cool.. go Rick !!😎

I wonder how people showed up to get Rick Rolled and ended up with this masterpiece.

Beautiful song. One of my favorites from The Smiths. Nice cover Rick.

wow, that is very, very good, like listening to the album

Wow... As a Smiths and Morrissey fan but not really keen on Rick, he absolutely nailed it. It's the 'please keep me in mindnnnnnnd' when he goes low, it's actually perfect

So, now we will have to look for Rick Astley shows... Great job.

Love it ! (never gone give you up Rick !)

Fair play, this sounds great. 👏

Lovely tribute. He really nailed it.

Marvelous!

The perfect song

Very well done guys.😊

This is great. Seriously.

Just brilliant.

Great ! Just great !

Bravo ❤

Nice guitar job

I pray to see Morrissey and Johnny Marr do this live again one day, but this is one hell of a second best..

No I'm not crying - you're crying....

Proof that humankind is more than material substance and substrate.

Ricks, you are as much fun to sing with as MORR is...

❤❤

Incredible falsetto.

How fucking perfect. 😍

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Nice job

Go on Rick lad

They need to do another tour

Tribute to the smiths

Well I wonder Do you hear me when you sleep? I hoarsely cry😿

00:22 Good stuff..

This is an act of aggression that cannnot go unpunished. Morrissey/Marr/Rourke/Joyce. You know what to do. Reform and belt out 'Never Gonna Give You Up'.

AWESOME ..........A;WAYS THE SMITHS AND EVERYBODI SINGING THEIR MUSIC

Much better than the crap Morrissey has released over the past number of years.

Rick astley singing the smiths? Now I don’t think so, only one morrissey it really is that simple

Not quite worked.

Ricks a crooner so is mozza morrisseys reach is better but kudos

I don't get why he keeps getting raves for this show. His vocals are schmaltzy. Tom Jones-ish. It's not good. Blossoms did a great job though. I would have taken almost any decent female singer over Rick Astley. I think Rick seems like a great guy, and I enjoy some of his hits, but he just wasn't the right man for this job.
