Yesterday marked a momentous occasion in music with the 30th anniversary of the release of one of the most enduring pop songs of the 1980s and beyond.
Yes, 'Never Gonna Give You Up' turned three decades old yesterday, and to mark the occasion, the man who brought it to the world had a message for fans.
Rick Astley tweeted "30 years ago today I said I was Never Gonna Give You Up. I am a man of my word - Rick x" with a link to a picture - and, well... you might guess what the picture led to.
Fans joined in with their own tributes - even Sesame Street, as you'll see...
