Rick Astley is an '80s icon ...

But his fans are not sure how to feel after his hit music video 'Never Gonna Give You Up' got a major upgrade.

The 1987 video was remastered by someone on YouTube, bringing the former hazy look to an ultra-crisp one where every detail is shockingly realistic - and it has taken the internet by storm.

While the new video was uploaded a few weeks ago, it only started making the rounds on social media over the weekend, with fans saying it makes them feel "uncomfortable."
