Robbie Williams performed in South Africa last week, delighting thousands of fans.
Few were likely more excited than Francois, a massive Robbie Williams fan.
Robbie Williams is the reason Francios became a performer, and he often performs a Robbie Williams song at shows.
Francios had an opportunity to watch him perform live in Pretoria thanks to his wife Karin and his friend, Elizabeth.
They queued for hours to get a good spot near the stage for the performance, and that effort paid off.
During the show, Robbie singled Francios out in the crowd, chatting with him and his wife and even asking Francios to finish one of the songs.

“The cameras were on my face, the whole venue could see me. He said if I could finish the song for him, he would feel safe.”

Williams also took a video for Francios' daughter who was not at the show.
