Watch Rick Astley Cover Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Drivers License’ for BBC Radio 2


Rick Astley appeared on BBC Radio 2's Piano Room to cover Olivia Rodrigo's "Drivers License" and to perform “Never Gonna Give You Up"

Rick Astley offered a surprisingly poignant cover of Olivia Rodrigo ‘s hit “Drivers License” for BBC Radio 2’s Piano Room over the weekend. Performing with the BBC Concert Orchestra and a pair of back-up singers, Astley showcased the 2021 single with some serious emotional gravity. Astley also performed his own 1987 mega-hit “Never Gonna Give You Up,” which he and the orchestra mashed up with Ed Sheeran ’s “Shape Of You.” The set was recorded live at the BBC’s Maida Vale Studios in London.
