Will Young proved to Liverpool last night that he has still got it two decades later.
The singer marked 20 years since being crowned Pop Idol champion by putting on a concert, that even I, someone who was three-years-old when he first graced our TV screens, was in awe of.
In many ways, Will is a symbol of a specific era in pop history, a turning point that ushered in the TV music competition that is today part and parcel of the cultural landscape. As the winner of the first-ever Pop Idol in 2002, he remains a cherished household name amongst many, not only as a singer but as an actor, author, broadcaster and LGBTQ+ figure.
