Take That star Robbie Williams sang an Oasis classic during an epic solo homecoming at the ground of his beloved Port Vale on Saturday night. And the Stoke star told fans that it was down to his partying with Oasis 's Liam and Noel Gallagher back in the 1990s that led to his initial split from Take That.
20,000 fans packed in to Vale Park in Burslem for the eagerly-anticipated gig that had been delayed for two years due to the coronavirus pandemic. But on Saturday he was rolling back the years with a blistering two-and-a-half hour set of his huge solo anthems as well as a raft of Take That's classic tunes.
He opened the show with Let Me Entertain You and a brace of his classic solo hits like Strong and Come Undone. After belting out Take That's Do What U Like and Could it Be Magic, he then explained how Manc rockers Oasis would go on to play an instrumental part in his career.
