Durban - Heavy rain in the early evening didn't stop 45 000 excited fans from packing into Durban's Absa Stadium for the start of British pop icon Robbie Williams's South African tour, the Mercury reports.
The concert opened with a grand spectacle of what looked like balls of fire shooting from the stage, as Williams, donned in a black trench coat, rose from the floor through a trapdoor.
Throughout the show, which kicked off with one of Robbie's biggest hits, Radio, Robbie enthused the crowd, getting them going before performing every single one of his chart-topping singles, the Mercury reports.
He walked up and down a ramp built in the middle of the stage and spoke about Durban, its people, and how welcome they'd made him feel. He left the crowd begging for more.
Towards the end of the two-hour show Williams further spiced up the show and invited three girls and their mother on stage to meet him and be a part of the on-stage action.
Williams ended his long-anticipated show with one of his biggest hits, Angels.
Williams will be performing in Cape Town on Thursday, April 13 at the Green Point Stadium and on Monday, April 17 at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria.
