Michael Buble looked like he was close to tears before going on stage in Newcastle on Tuesday night, hinting that the reason was the fact he was watching heart wrenching movie The Notebook in his dressing room.
The Canadian singer treated Geordie fans to a double header of shows at the Utilita Arena, after huge demand for tickets to see him make his return to the North East, following a raucous outdoor gig in Chester-le-Street last summer.
As well as a packed repertoire of perfectly executed covers and entertaining originals, on opening night, Michael got the audience swiftly on side by explaining how he'd been out around town on Bank Holiday Sunday and been somewhat taken aback by an encounter with some drunken revellers, exclaiming: "This was at 2pm! It was the most amazing thing I've experienced in any city I've ever been to!"
