A fan has died in hospital after falling at a Robbie Williams concert in Sydney, a spokesperson for St Vincent’s Hospital has confirmed. The woman in her 70s was treated for head injuries and taken to hospital following a fall at the Allianz Stadium after the opening night of Williams’ Australian XXV tour.
She died of her injures on Monday, a spokesperson for the hospital told the PA news agency. A spokesperson from New South Wales Ambulance said: “About 10.30pm Thursday November 16, NSW Ambulance paramedics were called to Driver Avenue, Paddington.
“Paramedics treated a woman in her 70s for head injuries before transporting her to St Vincent’s Hospital in a critical condition.”
After his Sydney show on Thursday, Williams shared a video on Instagram, captioning it: “I’m very lucky to be loved as much as I am *by my audience*.
“But Sydney was the most I think I’ve ever received. I’ll store it in my heart for the bumpy nights.”
The British pop star and former Take That singer, who was recently the subject of a Netflix documentary series, is scheduled to play at AAMI Park in Melbourne on Wednesday. It comes after the death of Taylor Swift fan Ana Clara Benevides Machado in Rio de Janeiro after watching her show on Friday.
Concert organisers Time4Fun said the 23-year-old had been taken to hospital where she died an hour later. Swift postponed her Saturday show due to “extreme temperatures”.
Representatives for Williams and Venues NSW have been contacted for comment.
