Robbie Williams review – dazzling superstar glow from the ‘King of Entertainment’
The pop star is as campy and supremely confident as ever, reeling off hit after hit in a frenzied maximal set interspersed with deepfake skits and a dash of insecurity
After eccentric diversions into film and visual arts, the pop star’s grand return to stadium shows begins with a philosophical bent: a sombre video critiques the impact of technology on the pop sphere, replete with a deepfake Elvis, and implies that only one man – perhaps one with a whopping 15 No 1 albums – could possibly save the industry. That journey involves: Williams bathing flirtatiously in a handsy audience; T-shirts chucked out during Old Before I Die, of all the songs to choose; belting Take That’s Relight My Fire with sparkly guest Michelle McManus. Finishing on My Way, a swinging big-band moment with cacophonous brass, Williams has the superstar glow of a man living up to that regal title.
