ROBBIE WILLIAMS SNOGS EDINBURGH FAN

ROBBIE Williams kissed a shocked fan on the lips as he performed the first night of his European tour in Edinburgh’s Murrayfield stadium. 
The former Take That star was performing She’s The One to a crowd of 70,000 people at the capital’s stadium when he couldn’t resist the cheeky move on the girl named ‘Debbie’. 
The Angels star who performed hits including Rock DJ and Let Me Entertain You through the drizzle in the stadium was also joined by Pop Idol winner Michelle McManus for a rendition of his old band hit Relight My Fire.
During She's The One, Robbie, 51, went to the front row of his audience and held overwhelmed fan Debbie close to him as he sang the lyrics to She's The One, then as he neared the end he kissed her on the lips as the stadium roared.  
Debbie couldn’t believe it and held her face in her hands and over her mouth as she sobbed while Robbie, in his pink vest top, leapt back on stage and changed his lyrics to  ‘I was her, she was me, I think you just did a little wee.” 
The singer also sang Sunshine on Leith by The Proclaimers and commented: “I think that’s a better song than You’ll Never Walk Alone.”
The star stayed at the five star Gleneagles hotel, a favourite of Prince William and Kate Middleton, during his Scots visit and Ayda enjoyed sampling expensive whisky’s that cost in excess of £1200 a bottle while Robbie had non alcoholic wines as they prepared for his gig. 
The couple also took a tour of Edinburgh castle ahead of his Scottish gig.

KYLIE MINOGUE PARTIES AT GLASGOW HYDRO



Beverley Lyons 
High heels and good lighting are what Kylie Minogue once thanked for her famously pert bottom, and at the age of 56, the tiny antipodean star proved her rear was as buoyant as the rest of her performance as she took to the stage at Glasgow’s Ovo Hydro. 
Clad in an electric blue PVC bodysuit as she descended the stage in an inverted diamond cage made of lasers, Kylie’s talents were all there on the first date of her Tension UK tour. 
Once everyone’s favourite dungareed girl next door, Kylie’s skills as a performer have matured beyond the realms of Charlene on Ramsay Street. 
 Her vocals, her dance moves and sparkling costumes shone like the big disco ball she later brought on stage. 
Intro track Lights, Camera, Action made way for a medley of classics including In Your Eyes, Get Out Of My Way, and What Do I Have To Do before Spinning Around and the moment when Kylie showed off her cheeky side - pointing to and rubbing her famed derrière which even had its own workout video in 1987 . 
Deafening cheers met a genuinely thrilled Melbourne lass who oozed: “Good evening Glasgow! It’s been a little while. I’m so happy to be with you. It’s a loud one tonight. You're amazing, you know that.”
Split into seven acts, Kylie’s show took us through the decades starting with her Stock Aitken and Waterman hits The Locomotion, On A Night and Better The Devil You Know. 
Red lipsticked Kylie, whose wardrobe is already a museum piece at the V and A, switched to glitzy red via a sequined jumpsuit that later became a floaty sparking dress and robe during an on stage change, hidden by her agile dancers. 
Chattier than ever, she seemed more at ease with herself than on previous tours. 
Kylie confessed her mind was blown and remarked: “We are to the rafters. When we knew this date was in the calendar we did not expect this kind of sunshine to exist. Cmon. Let’s just talk about today. I know we’re good at escaping the real world but but I’ve just got to mention it. What a beauty! It’s started to really heat up in here.”
Proving she was human as she fluffed a line in newly added Dancing, she asked the dancer beside her to sing lyrics so she could catch up on herself. 
And she moved from the big stage at the front to a smaller one at the back, being carried through her adoring crowd for more audience interaction where she asked for a capella song suggestions including Never Too Late before singing Wild Rose to a lucky fan.
Kylie said she’d dreamt about ‘this moment’ during Covid when finishing her album in a kitchen.
As she teased her Disco album she made her way back to the big stage amidst a confetti drop and performed Magic before another costume change. 
This time she got cloaked up for Confide In Me before revealing - an Abba-esque short purple kimono paired with thigh high boots. 
Strobe lighting flickered for dance versions of Slow, Time Bomb and Edge of Saturday Night.  
Fans screamed ‘Kylie we love you’ and Kylie told one she looked cute. 
Kylie’s hits are numerous but she saved some of her best till last with another outfit change to black sequins, and boots for Can’t Get You Out Of my Head and Tension before a rousing encore with a fluorescent yellow and orange outfit and the recently contagious Padam. 
The party would have gone on after Love At First Sight if there had not been an 11pm curfew. 
Kylie, singular may have been usurped by a Kardashian of the same name on social media but there is still only one Kylie Minogue and she is a legend.
