The rock'n'roll and pop worlds collided over the weekend with The Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl performing together with Rick Astley in London.

The pair made a surprise appearance at the launch of Club NME, at Hackney's Moth Club in East End on Saturday (NZT).

Fans were treated to a rendition of Astley's 1987 hit Never Gonna Give You Up, with the singer starting off on drums and Grohl starting the track on guitar and vocals.

The former Nirvana drummer then introduced Astley to the audience as he took to the front of the stage to finish the song to rapturous applause.
