One sweltering day in August last year, 125,000
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
Robbie Williams fans trekked to Knebworth
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
House, near Stevenage in Hertfordshire, to see
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
their hero perform. The next day another 125,000
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
did the same, and the day after that.
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
Statistically, the shows were a triumph. Where
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
rock legends Led Zeppelin had once played a
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
single night there in 1979, and Oasis two in 1996,
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
Robbie had played an entire weekend, all on his
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
own, reportedly netting some £5m in the process.
