Virtual Robbie Williams on stage

Robbie Williams

Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, British pop heart-throb Robbie Williams has rejoined - virtually - the 1990s boy band that made him famous.

Take That projected a 6m hologram of Williams, who quit the band in 1995, for a version of their hit Could It Be Magic at their sell-out comeback concert in Newcastle, England.

Williams, who reportedly gave his blessing to the project, was seen during the intro of the tune, before the other band members took over the song and the hologram faded.
