It was posted on Reddit on June 17th, 2020 by [u/ReallyRickAstley](https://www.reddit.com/user/ReallyRickAstley/), and yes, it is the real Rick Astley’s Reddit account.

The Reddit post is titled, “I’ve found a few funny memories during lockdown. This is from my 1st tour in 89, backstage in Vegas.”

It has a picture of Rick Astley riding a bike backstage during his first tour back in 1989.

Before Rick Astley dethroned it in June 2020, this used to be the most upvoted post on Reddit for years:

It was posted on Reddit on April 1st, 2017 by u/serventofgaben in the r/movies subreddit, and became the most upvoted Reddit post of all time, holding on to the #1 spot on Reddit for years.

However, you won’t be able to see it if you sort by top posts of all time on r/all, because some user accidentally deleted the image on Imgur. Here’s the [thread on the subreddit r/TIFU](https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/6sdob9/tifu_by_deleting_reddits_1_top_post_of_all_time/?st=JIPKK32V&sh=4461989a) where that user explains how he accidentally deleted it.

That Reddit post itself has gone on to receive over 41,000 upvotes.
