Watch Rick Astley cover Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Driver’s Licence’ and Ed Sheeran’s ‘Shape Of You’
Rick Astley performed covers of Olivia Rodrigo‘s ‘Driver’s Licence’ and Ed Sheeran‘s ‘Shape Of You’ during his recent appearance in the BBC Radio 2 Piano Room – check them out below.The star performed his 1987 hit ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’, which integrated a string melody of Sheeran’s ‘Shape Of You’ at BBC’s Maida Vale Studios last week.He also sang a dramatic rendition of Rodrigo’s 2021 song ‘Drivers License’, complete with a full orchestral arrangement and backing singers.Watch the two performances below.It’s no secret that the ’80s star is a big fan of covers, having formed a Smiths covers band with Blossoms.Astley made headlines in 2021 when he joined Blossoms on stage in London to perform a number of Smiths covers, before they went on to perform a number of full gigs dedicated to the indie legends.While former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr wasn’t too pleased about having not been told about it – later telling NME that he’d been in touch with Blossoms and “dealt with it” – Blossoms and Astley even went on to perform at Glastonbury together in 2023.“I can’t tell you how much I love doing this,” Astley told NME of the covers band. “I know it’s sacrilege and they should hang the lot of us on the line for doing it, but I also just don’t care.

Listen to Courting’s cover of Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Bad Idea Right?’
Courting have shared their cover of Olivia Rodrigo‘s ‘Bad Idea Right?’ – check it out below.The Liverpool band took on Rodrigo’s summer 2023 hit from her new album ‘GUTS‘, putting their indie spin on the rowdy anthem.Their version kicks up the energy levels, complete with a wild scream from frontman Sean Murphy O’Neill towards the end of the song.Listen to it below.Courting’s second LP is out Friday (January 26), which NME described in a three-star review as an album “perpetually in motion” that’s “both ambitious and scattershot at once”.It added: “What’s clear is that the playful, “for the plot” vibe of a band that started on a lark is beginning to transform into something close to remarkable.”Reviewing the group live in Liverpool last year, NME described the performance as a “thrilling show that’s big, clever and funny as fuck”.The group spoke to NME back in 2022 about being in a band that’s “more traditionally weird than a lot of the acts that get booked on massive festival lineups”.“We want to bring people together, while simultaneously attempting to win over those who may just be [at a festival] to listen to Arctic Monkeys or The 1975. Weird, brilliant stuff is happening on the smaller stages – and we want to be proof of that,” said Murphy-O’Neill.“I just think, in the cockiest way possible, we’re a year or two ahead of the curve [with ‘Guitar Music’],” he added of their sound.
