Could It Be Tragic

‘COULD it be tragic? As Take That reform on a stage in Newcastle, we wonder if the boys can still hack it as singing, dancing heartthrobs.

As the Star reports, Robbie Williams, who appears in the comeback shows as a hologram, has hurt his groin.

The Star says that after performing at Dubai’s Nad Al Sheba stadium, Robbie fell down a flight of stairs.

While this is not necessarily a sign that Robbie’s ageing limbs are giving way, nor that his tour rider should include a stair lift, it is, nonetheless, a worrying development.

And so it is we turn to the Sun and learn what the rest of the boys are now like. The Sun joins us in worrying if the boys’ legs can carry them through the dance routines.

But the show is a hit. Sure, this is only the first leg of a gruelling tour but the boys are moving and singing.

And so too are the fans. As the Suns says, some of the massed 9,000 Take Thatters are making a dash for it, grabbing at their idols as they run through the audience on a platform.

The boys have got their female fans exactly where they want them – groins permitting, naturally…’
