Iconic lyricist Robbie Williams ended his 2023 World XXV Tour with an outstanding highlight that fans will not forget for a while. Williams took over Sandringham House in the UK in grand style when he beckoned his fellow star and Take That band member, Mark Owen, to perform some of their greatest hits together. 

The pair took to the stage on Aug. 27, 2023, owning the euphoria just like they did many years ago and sending their fans into a frenzy. Williams and Owen’s performance came 25 years after the former exited the English pop group.  

Williams is a British singer who took the music industry by storm decades ago. The singer started his career back in 1990 when he joined the musical boy band Take That. The singer was 16 years old when he joined the boy band as its youngest member. The band was an international sensation at the time. However, conflicts within the group and some other problems made Williams leave the group in 1995.

His solo career initially stalled due to an initial agreement with the group that he was prohibited from leaving until the band dissolved. However, after a series of legal battles, Williams finally started his solo career in 1996.

As a solo artist, Williams' style of music was unique as it featured hip-hop and rap elements, and later, he added dance, electro and swing influences into his music. His style of music garnered attention and brought him fame.

In looking at the "Angels" singer's achievements, the international singer has had a successful career. Some of Williams' achievements include a record number of 18 Brit Awards, and he is also one of the best-selling music artists of all time.

In 2010, Williams reconciled with Take That, which was a memorable moment for their fans. The group's first album after the singer's return became the second fastest-selling album in UK history. Williams still focuses on his career but occasionally appears with the group on stage.

Owen, who was also one of the original Take That members, has garnered fame as a solo singer. After the band's split, Owen became the first of his former band members to release a solo record. The singer reached number three on the UK Singles Chart with his debut single, "Child." He has released five studio albums such as, "Green Man" (1996), "In Your Own Time" (2003), "How the Mighty Fall" (2005), and "Land of Dreams" which was released in September 2022.

The English group Take That recorded success as an English pop group that formed decades ago. The group's original members included Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange, Owen and Williams. The group was active from 1990 until their split in 1996. However, it was revived in 2005 and is still active. 

The group is known for their popular albums, such as "Nobody Else" and "Beautiful World." Take That has also had 28 top-40 singles and 17 top-5 singles on the UK Singles Chart. The group performed at the London 2012 Olympic Games closing ceremony, where they played "Rule the World" while the Olympic Flame was extinguished. 

When Williams left Take That in 1995, the others held it together and completed their “Nobody Else” tour. This was followed by a disbandment the following year. The pop group achieved so much despite the challenges in the early stages of making music and garnering fame.

It was a thrilling moment for fans of the popular pop group Take That to see Williams reuniting with his former group member for the first time in a long time. The guest artist, Owen, joined Williams on stage to have a great time while he was performing on the grounds of King Charles' royal residence. The location had been transformed into a huge eco-friendly concert venue.

The "Let Me Entertain You" singer took to his Instagram page to post snaps of the memorable moment he shared with his long-time pal and captioned the post:

"Thanks for an amazing weekend Sandringham. You rocked it @markowenofficial ❤ x"

Owen also commented on Williams's post: "Had the best time… so good to be able to hang with you all. Thank you Sandringham and huge congrats Rob on such an amazing show…"

Another person commented, "Love this! ❤❤!"

The duo performed their former hit "Greatest Day" for the delighted fans in the audience. The stars could not hide their excitement to be performing on stage together, so they danced together and hugged throughout the live gig.

Williams, who is also known for his fashion sense, drew attention to his outfit as he donned a gold sequined vest over his bare chest and a pair of gold metallic trousers to match. He paired his outfit with a white scarf as an accessory. Owen, on the other hand, appeared more low-key as he rocked a silky black shirt tucked into some tailored rouge suit trousers. The duo beamed on stage as they belted out the lyrics of the chart-topping song.
