BIGGEST FANS
THE ego landed and he did not disappoint.
Pop star Robbie Williams sang ‘‘Let Me Entertain You’’ and that is exactly what he did at Forsyth Barr Stadium on Saturday night.
The singer took to the stage just after 8.50pm and was greeted with rapturous applause after he fronted the 16,000strong crowd.
His selfindulgent, boxingthemed introduction included a ‘‘national anthem of Robbie’’ that only Williams could pull off.
Fans were not left waiting long for the star to sing his biggest hits.
Williams was soon singing Let Me Entertain You, which set the tone for the next 90 minutes and for a big night under the roof at the stadium.
It also did not take long for the star to engage the buzzing Dunedin singer, a scene that would seem appropriate for a music video 20 years ago but was somewhat dated in 2018.
Where Williams hit his mark perfectly was with his singing.
The further the singer got into his set, the more he belted out his best hits.
Millennium, Feel and She’s The One all sent the Dunedin crowd to a fever pitch.
Williams and his Robbie
Williams Band produced an epic version of Rock DJ before a thinly veiled attempt to end the show and say goodbye to his Dunedin fans.
The star was soon back on stage with an encore set which featured an awesome, emotionally charged performance of Angels.
Williams left the stage after delivering a cover of Frank Sinatra’s I Did It My Way.
