Berlin -- Known for his 80's pop hit "Never Gonna Give You Up," the 43-year-old Rick Astley has been pronounced dead today. Astley's body was found at the Angleterre Hotel in Berlin after an ambulance responded to an emergency call from his hotel room.

Astley was found unconscious in his hotel bedroom and was unable to be resuscitated. He was pronounced dead on the scene.

Astley was in the middle of a concert tour that would have ended in late August of 2009. He was to return to the United Kingdom at that time.

Rick Astley Not Dead

The current wave of fake celebrity deaths continue, and tonight’s entry comes to us from Rick Astley

According to CNN’s iReport, Astley’s body was found at the Angleterre Hotel in Berlin after an ambulance responded to an emergency call from his hotel room. Astley was found unconscious in his hotel bedroom and was unable to be resuscitated. He was pronounced dead on the scene.

Unlike previous fake celebrity deaths, the use of CNN’s iReport gives this a little more legitimacy up front, at least if you don’t know how iReport works. iReport is open to all submissions without pre-publication review: I could submit a story saying Rick Astley is dead at the hands of an advanced civilization of alien music lovers and it would be published until such time CNN pulled it it.

Rick Astley is not dead, Rick Astley has not died, Rick Astley was not attacked by aliens either.

Oh! And the funny thing is that Star Online got rick rolled!! LOL! And I managed to print-screen it! *ROFL* This is the link, http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/6/30/nation/20090630144948&sec=nation, but too bad the article was removed already. :P
