Robbie joins Take That on stage
Friday 13 November 2009
The Press Association reports that Williams joined band members Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald on stage during the concert - but insisted the real reunion was yet to come.
While the two acts performed separate sets during the concert they reunited on stage to sing The Beatles' 'Hey Jude' with all the show's acts during the grand finale.
The singalong included Sir Paul McCartney who led the concert's finale, kicking off with renditions of 'Back In The USSR' and 'Get Back'. Barlow and Williams even sang together with their arms around each other's shoulders.
Take That had opened the concert with their song 'Greatest Day' and teased the crowd with the promise of reunion. Welcoming the 4,500-strong crowd, Barlow said: "What a perfect night for us to introduce an old friend."
An emotional-looking Williams appeared on stage alongside his old bandmates, but only briefly.
Barlow and Williams have both hinted at a reunion of the band's original line-up but the band left the stage to allow Williams to perform his solo singles 'Bodies' and 'You Know Me alone'.
Speaking after his performance, Williams said he was welling up before joining Take That on stage and he wanted to "milk" the moment for a bit longer.
Asked why he did not perform with the band, Williams said: "Something's planned." He added: "I started tearing up just before I came on and the lads were singing and knowing it was just about to happen and knowing what the reactions were going to be like and then all my team were like 'Please don't cry'.
"And I think we should have milked it for a lot longer than we actually did. I think Gaz, in his wisdom went 'Right, we should get off now, let the lad do his singing'. That was probably what was in his head because I was trying to get them back to do a bow and everything. That's the first time in 15 years, we should have least stayed there for 10 minutes."
