More stagger than swagger, Robbie was
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
overweight and clearly sozzled as he later
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
clowned about onstage with Oasis. The only
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
headlines he made that weekend ran to the tune
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
of ΓÇ£Blobbie Pill-iamsΓÇ¥. Three weeks later,
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
he left Take That.
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
Three years later, though, Robbie was playing to
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
the biggest crowd of his career. Angels had been a
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
surprise hit at Christmas and, as Robbie
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
started to sing ΓÇö his heart in his mouth ΓÇö the
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
sun broke through the clouds. Something
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
heavenly was happening. To his utter
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
amazement, 70,000 people sang Angels right back
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
at him. His star had risen again.
