- Story Text: British singer Robbie Williams gave a free outdoor concert in the German capital Berlin on Friday (October 23). Despite the dreary weather, more than ten thousand fans turned up to hear the gig, during which Williams performed seven songs, including his new single "Bodies."
The event, which was only announced on Thursday (October 22), took place outside a concert hall in the eastern district of Prenzlauer Berg.
Fans started queuing early in the morning at the outdoor venue, many of whom had traveled overnight from other parts of Germany to see the singer.
The 35-year-old former member of British boy band "Take That" staged a comeback on Tuesday (October 20) performing his new single "Bodies" on UK national television. The concert was also relayed live to fans in cinemas throughout Europe.
His new album "Reality Killed the Video Star" hits shelves on November 9th on EMI's Virgin Record.
Williams is expected to return to Berlin to perform at the MTV European Music Awards on November 5th. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
