Robbie Williams backing John & Edward! And Were Lovin It!
Updated : Oct 21, 2009
Robbie Williams sent out support to The X Factor's John and Edward during his first full concert for three years last night.
PA reports the singer shocked fans by backing the Grimes twins to win the show as he performed to a sell-out crowd in London.
Williams took to the stage to open this year's BBC Electric Proms and paid tribute to former Take That bandmate Gary Barlow, who is mourning the death of his father.
"About 14 months ago we all got together one night and I got a new best mate... Gary," he said. "I'm sending my love to you - I know it's been a tough week."
The star told the audience he got a Take That tattoo as a tribute to the boy band which launched his career.
He explained that he was inspired to have the artwork put on his arm after enjoying a get-together with Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen.
He opened the show at north London's trendy Roundhouse venue last night with new single 'Bodies'.
Appearing emotional, he said: "You nearly made me cry then, but then I realised it's not The X Factor."
Williams, who appeared on the ITV1 show earlier this month, revealed he was a fan of twins John and Edward Grimes. "Go for the twins," he told the crowd, who responded with deafening boos.
But he insisted: "John and Edward all the way."
VHP Thinks these guys are great and thinks we should support them, There the mose entertaining of all the wingers! No mater what you throw at them they never shed a tear they just laugh it off! Let's face it they know there not great, But everybody will remember them for a long time!
