As Robbie Williams bowled over fans at the Emirates Stadium with classic hits ‘Angels’, ‘Millennium’ and ‘Let Me Entertain You’, they were treated to some surprise special guests who brought with them a wave of 90s nostalgia. Williams was accompanied by Lulu for a duet of ‘Relight My Fire’, the Take That song from 1994 she famously sang alongside with the band.
Elsewhere, 90s boyband Five – made up of original members Scott Robinson, Ritchie Nevile, Jason Paul Brown, Sean Conlon and Abz Love – made a guest appearance on stage, ahead of their eagerly anticipated reunion tour this autumn, which will see them play three nights at the O2 Arena.
Williams had already begun singing a cover of Five’s ‘Keep On Movin’ when he suddenly made an announcement. He told onlookers: “I don’t remember the words to this next bit. I wonder if anybody can help me out. Ladies and gentlemen the first time they’ve been seen on stage for 25 years. My mates. Five!”
