Delta Goodrem to perform with Robbie Williams at the AFL Grand Final | msmegwatson
It’s going to be a huge afternoon of early-2000s nostalgia: Delta Goodrem will be joining Robbie Williams on stage during the pre-game entertainment for Saturday’s AFL Grand Final. The news was confirmed at a media call on Thursday afternoon, after weeks of rumours regarding a surprise guest act.
“It’s an absolutely full-circle moment coming to play at the grand final with Robbie Williams, who is a history-making, incredible entertainer,” she said, grabbing Williams’ arm affectionately. “I need to ask her,” he said. “Maybe I should do that on this radio show right here, right now. Kylie, please come and sing with me. I’d love it if you did.”The speculation then reached a peak on Tuesday morning when McLachlan got involved. When SEN broadcaster Gerard Whateley asked him if Minogue would make an appearance, McLachlan – an otherwise composed and articulate speaker – responded with a long pause.
Wearing a red, sparkly jacket, his silver hair meticulously spiked, Williams was in good spirits as he spoke of the upcoming performance, joking that the crowds “shouldn’t expect much”. “[It’s] a sport that is incredibly entertaining. I remember that Channel Four [UK] had the rights to play the game ... It was on a Sunday morning, and I turned it on, and I couldn’t believe how barbaric and wonderful it was,” he said. “It was just like, what on earth are they doing down there?”
