Man emerges from 'Rickroll' lock-in charity challenge
A man has emerged from a charity lock-in where he has spent the weekend listening to 1980s Rick Astley hit Never Gonna Give You Up on repeat.
James White, from Southampton, was said to be in "good spirits" following the ordeal.
Astley himself has described the event as "the definition of crazy".
...
The challenge finished at 15:00 BST on Monday, by which time the song is thought to have been played at least 2,500 times.

It was completed by 2 brothers, because, unbelievably, people trolled the 1st brother while he was doing it, and attacked his 7 year old diabetic nephew (it was for a diabetes charity).
