Robbie Williams: Performing with Barlow is amazing

13th September 2010

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow performed live together for the first time in 15 years at a concert in London last night.

The Take That singers took to the stage at a show at Twickenham Stadium to benefit the Help For Heroes charity, which supports members of the British armed forces. The pair shared an emotional embrace before performing their new single Shame for the 60,000-strong audience, which included Britains Prince Harry.

Robbie was extremely emotional when he introduced Gary to the stage, saying the onstage reunion was one of the highlights of his career so far.

Have I got a treat for you, this is one of the most amazing moments in my professional career so far, Robbie said. It has been 15 years in the making. My wife calls him my boyfriend, I call him my captain, you call him Gary Barlow.

Shame is written about Robbie and Garys relationship, which soured in 1995, leading Robbie to quit Take That to pursue a solo career. Take That broke up the following year, but Gary, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen reformed in 2005.

Robbie started talking to his former bandmates again last year and announced he would be joining them for an album and a tour earlier this year. The album is due for release early in 2011, with the tour planned for June.

James Blunt, Alexandra Burke, Tom Jones, Pixie Lott, The Saturdays, Peter Kay and Alesha Dixon also performed at the Help For Heroes show. (C) Cover Media
