Robbie Williams comeback concert sets world record

Robbie Williams set a new world record as he played his first full gig for three years.

 

 

Published: 10:00PM BST 20 Oct 2009

The chart star returned to the stage with a sell-out show at the BBC Electric Proms at London's Roundhouse.

 

The show was also being screened by more than 250 cinemas across 23 countries to set a new Guinness World Record for the most simultaneous cinematic screenings of a live concert.

 

Tens of thousands of the singer's fans across Europe watched the show as it happened through a deal by BBC Worldwide Music.

 

Williams, who is at number two in the charts with latest single Bodies, was previewing tracks from forthcoming album Reality Killed the Video Star, as well as classic tracks, accompanied by a string section, horn section and a full band.

 

The entertainer is no stranger to setting records. He last did so in 2006 when his epic Close Encounters tour sold 1.6 million tickets in a single day.

 

Guinness World Records editor-in-chief Craig Glenday said: ''It's been a few years since we've seen Robbie in the record books, so it's great to see him back on stage and breaking records.

 

''Robbie's been a multiple Guinness World Record holder thanks to his phenomenal chart successes in the past, and I'm sure this new record for most simultaneous cinematic screenings of a live concert will be the first of many more to come.''

 

The show will also be screened at an 8,000 seater auditorium in Mexico City later this month plus 18 cinemas in Australia, 20 cinemas in South Africa and seven cinemas in New Zealand next month.

 

Due to Williams's huge international popularity, not only was the show much sought-after on screen but he was due to reach an estimated radio audience of 33 million across 22 radio stations in Europe and overseas.

 

Stephen Davies, director of audio and music at BBC Worldwide said: ''We knew that there would be significant interest in this concert, but the public reaction has exceeded all of our expectations.''
