As the night drew to a close, Williams delivered a heartfelt performance of his emotional ballad ‘Angels’, which thrilled his fans. Following the final notes, he was joined by the hosts of the night to usher in the New Year, which was celebrated with a spectacular fireworks display that lit up the Sydney sky.
In a light-hearted moment, Williams introduced himself with confidence, humorously declaring, “Allow me to introduce myself. This is my band, this is my arse and you better be good. Because I am phenomenal.” This playful banter was well-received by the enthusiastic crowd.
