Singer Rick Astley has hinted that he could work with Dave Grohl on a collaboration in the future after they hung out at Summer Sonic Festival in August.
The '80s pop legend had never met the Foo Fighters frontman until moments before he joined them on stage at the event in Japan, reported Contactmusic.
The 51-year-old Brit, who was lucky enough to get a huge from Dave, got on like a house on fire with the 48-year-old rocker and said anything could happen in regards to working with the band.
"That was literally the first time I had met that band walking on stage and playing that song. Dave Grohl came over and gave me a huge and introduced himself, and then 20 minutes later he said right, 'We are bringing out a friend of ours and this is happening now.'
"We hung out a bit afterwards and they were really generous with their time with my band and crew as well. They were a really lovely bunch of guys. Over the years they must have got to a place where everybody that works with them is on it and you can feel that.
Astley added, "They are probably one of the hardest working rock bands, they are really cool and laid back.
