Robbie Williams has taken a not-so-subtle potshot at an audience member during his Sydney New Year's Eve performance. The UK megastar, 50, was the headline act for the city's New Year celebrations on Tuesday, which was broadcast on the ABC. Robbie's stellar performance was otherwise marred by an awkward exchange with an audience member.

After regaling the crowd with his chart-topper Let Me Entertain You and Wilson Pickett's Land of 1000 Dances, Robbie and his 13-piece backing band launched into his 2002 track Me and My Monkey. Robbie seemingly invited the audience to sing along, but was evidently less than impressed with one reveller's rhythmic ability.

The singer awkwardly fell silent before chastising the audience member for their lack of timing. Robbie Williams has taken a not-so-subtle potshot at an audience member during his Sydney New Year's Eve performance on Tuesday night. 'You made me come in, in the wrong place,' Robbie said.

'Can you stop doing the lyrics to the song, then I don't get it wrong.'. The camera then cut to a close up of Robbie, who was sporting an expression that suggested he was more than a little miffed with the audience member. 'Now, okay?' Robbie sternly instructed before continuing with the song.
Robbie's eight song set was full of some of his biggest hots such as Feel, Better Man and Rock DJ. He also surprised the crowd with a rousing rendition of the John Farnham classic You're The Voice, before rounding out 2024 with his 2002 ballad Angels. 'Aussie, Aussie, Aussie,' Robbie chanted during the song's bridge, with the audience responding with the obligatory: 'Oi, Oi, Oi.'.
