Meanwhile, the former Newton-le-Willows singer is to join a host of other 80s singers at Scarborough Open Air Theatre this summer. He will perform his famous Never Gonna Give You Up song at the nostalgic Legends of Pop event in August. Other stars include Jason Donovan and Spandau Ballet’s Tony Hadley. And Tony said he could not wait to be reunited with Rick.

He told The Mail: “I can’t wait to come and get on stage. Me, Rick and Jason will be backstage having a beer and having fun but when you get on stage that’s the ultimate reward.”

Rick has also recently joined other stars to sing alongside the Missing People Choir to launch a charity single - I Hope - for International Missing Children’s Day last week.

He said: “It is a powerful and very moving song about the pain of hope that these families feel, and I am proud to have sung on it. I hope people get behind this and help these families reach out to their missing children.”
