Robbie Williams was the main act at BST Hyde Park and it was clear to see that he is truly happy and content with life. This was his second time performing at the massive London festival, which has previously hosted some of the biggest names in the music industry like Celine Dion, Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift, and Sir Elton John.
For Robbie, this show was more than just a performance, it was a homecoming of sorts. Throughout the night, he repeatedly expressed his current state of mind and it was evident that he is feeling absolutely fantastic. As a national treasure, Robbie orchestrated an elaborate entrance, making his way through the backstage area with his group of talented dancers, some Beefeaters in their full regalia, and even a cardboard cutout of his old sparring partner, Noel Gallagher.
The camera followed his confident and cocky walk until he finally reached the stage, where he kicked off the night with his iconic song, "Let Me Entertain You". The sun was shining and England had just won their Euro 2024 game, putting them in the semi-finals, which only added to Robbie's already ecstatic mood. He couldn't help but express his joy, shouting out to the crowd, "Thank f*** England won! How are you feeling everybody? Are you excited to see me?"
Throughout the night, Robbie remained the ultimate showman, with his cheeky and playful demeanor captivating the audience. At the age of 50, he has had his fair share of struggles, from mental health issues to substance abuse, but he has overcome them and now proudly wears them as a badge of honor. His past experiences were the inspiration behind his Hyde Park show, as he took the audience on a journey through his life.
He even showed a clip of his bare backside from his debut music video with Take That, "Do What U Like", which was met with laughter and cheers from the crowd. Robbie then went on to talk about his decision to leave the band in 1995 and his transformation into Robbie Williams 2.0 at the Glastonbury Festival where he partied with the likes of Oasis' Liam and Noel Gallagher.
In a tribute to the Britpop era, he sang covers of Oasis' "Don't Look Back in Anger" and Supergrass' "Alright", with Gaz Coombes joining him on stage for a surprise cameo. But the biggest surprise of the night came when Danny Dyer, everyone's favorite cockney legend and EastEnders icon, came out to sing Blur's "Parklife" with the 44-strong brass band of Beefeaters.
It was a weird but memorable moment, one that only Robbie Williams could pull off. He continued to entertain the crowd with hit after hit, reminding us all why he is one of the most successful artists of all time. He even let the audience sing for him, but with such iconic songs, it would be hard not to join in. His voice was on point, his performance was full of energy, and he looked amazing, as he confidently told the crowd, "I look f***ing great right now".
The night ended with his classic hit, "Angels", complete with fireworks and a massive singalong. As Robbie left the stage, the crowd chanted, "It's coming home", showing their support for England and their love for the artist. At one point, Robbie thanked the audience for helping him "remain on the planet" and expressed his love for them, without a hint of irony.
It was a night to remember, not just for the fans, but also for Robbie himself. His performance was more than just a show, it was like a therapy session, allowing him to reflect on his past and celebrate how far he has come. It was a night of anthems, raw emotions, and a reminder of why Robbie Williams will always be a beloved and cherished artist.
