But Robbie Williams had none of the feverish pre-gig anticipation that was showered on the Gallagher brothers. It would have been virtually impossible to find any adult who didn\u2019t know Oasis were in town; the ex-Take That man, by contrast, seemingly flew under the radar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"indo-ebe0ecc6_root indo-ebe0ecc6_paragraph indo-300db776_none indo-91174671_primary indo-1d70522a_marginbottom0 indo-1d70522a_margintop0 indo-b48c4984_inherit\" style=\"color:var(--color-primary-80)\">Flying under the radar, of course, is not something Williams does by choice. His default is loud, chest-beating exuberance. His on-stage confidence could power the electricity at Croker. He may be 51, but he is determined to outdo the energy he brought to Take That as a teen. More than anything, though, the Stoke-on-Trent native is a born entertainer. He knows this and, early on, quips that while Michael Jackson may have been the King of Pop he, Williams, is the King of Entertainment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robbie Williams.
