One woman was left fighting for life after a 'serious incident' which took place at a Robbie Williams concert.
The 'Let Me Entertain You' singer took to the Allianz Stadium yesterday evening (16 November) as part of his XXV tour of Australia and New Zealand.
Robbie, 49, performed to an adoring crowd of 38,000 fans - one of which ended up being rushed to the hospital following the show.

The woman, who is believed to be in her 70s, had reportedly fallen before paramedics were called at a little after 10pm.
She was later treated for injuries to her face and head with a NSW Ambulance Service spokesperson telling SkyNews.com.au that the woman was taken to St Vincent's Hospital in a critical condition.
According to the Daily Telegraph, the woman was allegedly placed in an induced coma as a result of her injuries.
It is believed that the elderly woman was up on the upper grandstand level of the Allianz Stadium and was allegedly attempting to climb over seats, rather than use the stairs provided, when she fell at the end of the music concert.
Venues NSW has since confirmed today (17 November) that there had been a 'serious incident' at the show.
"This is a terribly sad incident and our thoughts and wishes are with the patron and their family during this time," a statement to SkyNews.com.au outlined.
The statement continued: "The patron was attended to immediately by venue staff and a nearby guest who is a qualified medical professional.
"Medics arrived shortly after and the patron was taken from the venue by ambulance to hospital."
Venues NSW said it was working with police and would provide further updates when more information was available.
Robbie has just dropped a brand-new documentary on Netflix earlier this month (8 November) all about his life.
Directed by EMMY and BAFTA nominated, Joe Pearlman and executive produced by Academy Award, BAFTA and Grammy winning director Asif Kapadia, the doc features up to 30 years of never-before-seen archive footage behind the star.
From his introduction to the spotlight at just 16 years old when he first joined Take That and his rivalry with bandmate Gary Barlow to his famous on-stage panic attack back in 2006 and his struggles with addiction and mental health - the series covers a whole load of bombshells from Robbie's decade-spanning career.
Robbie Williams is currently available to stream on Netflix now.
Tyla has reached out to Venues NSW for comment.
