In a sea of 125,000 screaming fans, a little boy sits
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
on his dadΓÇÖs shoulders, his face painted black
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
and white like glam-rock icons Kiss. The fact he
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
doesnΓÇÖt know who Gene Simmons is, let alone
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
who Take That were, doesnΓÇÖt matter. HeΓÇÖs here
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
to see his hero, Robbie Williams, sing Let Me
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
Entertain You.
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---

--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---

--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
reputation, after all. Since leaving massively-
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
popular, award-winning boyband Take That at
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---

--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---

--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
also a superstar, a superlover, a comedian.
