Cape Town – Foo Fighters totally rickrolled the audience at Tokyo’s Summer Sonic Fesival on Sunday when they invited Rick Astley to join them on stage.
Before launching into what must be the grungiest version of Never Gonna Give You Up ever, Dave Grohl introduced Astley as the band’s "new best friend". He also said: "This is fucking crazy. I just met [Astley] two minutes ago."
And then, in a surprise move, Astley shouted: "Come on you motherfuckers!"
The band then launched into what sounded like the intro to Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit. But it wasn’t!
