Rick returns to the UK this week after his 'mini-tour' of the Far East. Upon his arrival in Manila, the first leg of his three show campaign, Rick was welcomed in such a fashion that he could be forgiven for thinking he'd just touched down in 1988! Whilst much of the world had forgotten about Rick Astley, that is until the recent 'Rick-rolling" phenomenon hit the headlines, it would seem that The Philippines had never forgotten. Patiently waiting in the hope that Rick might one day visit, the Filipino people have had to make do with their own tribute versions of Rick Astley, including actor Roderick Paulate who has been dubbed 'Rick Astley of the Philippines.'
