Iconic band reunite on stage after 25 years during Robbie Williams gig
The Let Me Entertain You hitmaker kicked off his first night at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium with a bang, performing to a crowd of 60,000 seats.
Williams had started a rendition of Keep On Movin' and had the crowd singing along when he suddenly interrupted himself to welcome some familiar faces to the stage.
'I don't remember the words to this next bit,' said Robbie. 'I wonder if anybody can help me out. Ladies and gentlemen the first time they've been seen on stage for 25 years. My mates. Five!'
The crowd went wild as all five members of the iconic boy band Five ran out onto the stage and joined in to sing their 1999 hit.
Scott Robinson, Ritchie Nevile, Jason Paul Brown, Sean Conlon and Abz Love recently announced they would be reuniting, almost three decades after splitting up.
The group have announced a two-week tour later this year – the Keep On Movin' Tour – which is set to kick off on Halloween (October 31) in Brighton, with tickets on sale from Saturday (June 7).
Five will perform a 12-date journey across the country, with all five members back after a smaller trio had started to perform together in recent years.
Producer and DJ Naughty Boy, best known for hit La La La featuring Sam Smith, will perform a set to open the show.
Scott, who previously returned in 2022 with the Five trio album, shared at the time of the reunion announcement: 'This has been a long time coming and it really does feel right for all of us now – 25 years on and we're so ready for it.
Tickets for Five's reunion tour go on sale Friday, March 7, with pre-sale sign up open now.
The tour dates are: October 31 – Brighton

Robbie Williams says he would open for Oasis despite decades-long rivalry
The rivalry allegedly began more than two decades ago, which saw the 90s Britpop stars, Liam and Noel Gallagher from Oasis and Williams, exchange insults at each other, including a challenge made by the Rock DJ singer at the 2000 Brit Awards Ceremony to fight Liam. The feud, however, appears to have subsided with Williams saying that despite not being friends, they are not 'enemies'. Speaking to ITV News, Williams said: 'I would open for Oasis. In this moment that they're having right now, they are omnipresent and they are the peak Zeitgeist. 'I can't compete with that. So I would, I would open for Oasis. 'We're not exactly friends, but I don't think we're enemies.' The comments come as Oasis are preparing to set off for their North American leg of their Oasis Live '25 world tour. He also told the broadcaster that he would not give his children phones, describing them as a 'drug'. He said: 'They don't have phones. They're not going to have phones for as long as humanly possible. And you know they're gonna go, they are at school, other people have phones, why can't I have a phone? Tough. 'That's as simple as it is. I'm 51, I can't deal with the corrosive nature of the internet and things. It hurts me. It ruins my day. 'How can I give this drug to a 12-year-old? How can I give this drug to a seven-year-old? It's abuse.' Prior to launching his solo career, Williams was part of the boyband Take That which was behind the hit songs Pray, Everything Changes and Sure. He left the group in 1995 and released his chart-topping debut album Life Thru A Lens in 1997. Other number one albums by the singer include I've Been Expecting You (1998), Sing When You're Winning (2000), Escapology (2002), Intensive Care (2005) and Rudebox (2006). The singer set off for his Britpop tour in May in support of his upcoming album with the same name, which is due to be released on October 10.
