Robbie’s Kylie no-show a puzzler

SATURDAY’S Kylie Minogue concert came and went, but there was no sign of her star pal, heart-throb Robbie Williams. The Brit had been touted to sing duet Kids with Kylie on stage, but instead the pop princess’s sister, Dannii, filled the spot. And tickets that Williams had for the show were not used.

So, what busy scheduling kept Williams from appearing at Rod Laver Arena? Apparently not much. Williams was seen having a quiet drink at the Langham Hotel bar on Saturday evening after tussling with mates and the Melbourne Victory boys on the soccer field. Maybe he was resting the vocal cords for his Telstra Dome gig last night. The Kylie and Dannii duet had been a long time coming.

They last performed together onstage in Melbourne at the 1987 I Say No concert at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl. They did a very Young Talent Time-esque rendition of the Pointer Sisters’ Twist My Arm.
