12 Sep 2010 - London, England: Twickenham
Robbie headlined the star-studded Heroes Concert in Twickenham to round off a fantastic day in support of wounded UK service personnel and their families.
The line-up also included Alexandra Burke, Enrique Iglesias, Tom Jones, Katherine Jenkins and James Blunt, plus comedy from Bruce Forsyth, Peter Kay and Jack Dee.
But the highlight of the day was undoubtedly reserved for the reunion of the year between Robbie and Gary Barlow, who paired up for a duet of single Shame. Robbie excitedly welcomed the arrival of his newly-reunited Take That bandmate for their duet, saying "this is one of the most amazing moments in my professional career so far. It has been 15 years in the making. My wife calls him my boyfriend, I call him my captain, you call him Gary Barlow."
Following their performance, which even included a brotherly hug mid-chorus, Barlow then exited to rapturous applause and Robbie wrapped up a day to remember with favourites Feel and Angels… what an evening!

I was at the concert I thought everyone performed well. I was a contract worker for RADA when I was 18. Best bit about the concert apart from you was the location 10 mins away from my house. Lol xxx
