Huge music star starts busking in street in Seville – then tourists realise who it is

Brits were left gobsmacked when they realised who was actually singing to them in the street

British tourists were left completely floored when they realised who was actually singing to them in the street as they enjoyed an evening in Spain.

The Brit Award-winning musician started belting out one of their global hits live in Seville as visitors enjoyed drinks in a public square. It didn’t take long before listeners clocked exactly who it was.

It was none other than Robbie Williams, belting out his song ‘Angels’ as a guitarist tried to keep up with him in the background. People were seen excitedly running from their tables and filming upon realising it was the real former Take That member in the flesh.

One of the people lucky enough to see it with their own eyes was TikTok user @cierancasey2609, who posted a video, captioning it: “Robbie Williams in Seville.” The clip has since amassed 195,000 views.

People were seen singing along and dancing in the street as Robbie, originally from Stoke-on-Trent, serenaded them while dressed in a casual all-black outfit and a cap. He performed an acoustic rendition of the song, which came out in December 1997.

He appeared to show the guitarist, who was the actual busker, the chords on a mobile phone before his rendition. As members of his audience danced together and sang, he joked, “You know it!”

He then quipped: “Obviously [it’s] not very famous here” as he struggled to keep up with the guitarist.

At the end of the chorus, he shouted into the mic: “I’m off!” and walked away from the crowd with his hands raised as crowds cheered and clapped.

Viewers online were left just as stunned by the shock performance. “Absolutely nuts,” one person wrote, followed by: “Timing is everything, could not buy that moment in time.”

“No because I’d CRY,” commented another, as a fourth wrote: “Imagine sitting there, casually having a drinky drink and THE Robbie Williams strolls by.”

The Rock DJ hitmaker was in the Spanish city on June 30 performing at the Iconica Santalucia Sevilla Fest. This was before heading to Morocco for Jazzablanca on Thursday (July 2).
