      When he would have been relegated to a casino act like many 80s pop singers, and humbly content with it... The rickroll phenomenon completely rejuvenated his career and solidified his legendary status.
      It's the whole reason he gets to play Glastonbury 36 years after his massive debut. He was always gracious. In just working quietly in the studio, in getting to record, in having a big break, one superstardom, in his star waning, in playing smaller gigs and just getting to play with session musicians to intimate crowds for years...
      Of course he received his resurgence warmly. Cuz he's a righteous dude. 🎉

      Probably - at least in part - because he did not just start out singing trying to be a frontman, he started out singing in a choir.
      And in a choir, if it's any good, you learn things like you warm up your voice gradually first before trying to outsing a church (or a crowd).
      (ETA: Incidentally, Bruce Springsteen mentioned somewhere that he doesn't have any proper vocal training but that that's exactly the reason why he will often come out on stage before the concert actually begins and sing just with an accoustic guitar for the people who have been waiting there for hours. If you do a workout, you stretch first. You do the same with your voice.)
