Why was a fan attending Robbie Williams' Sydney concert hospitalized? Elderly woman transferred to intensive care unit

During Robbie Williams' Sydney concert, a woman in her 70s had to be rushed to hospital and induced into a coma after she suffered a critical fall. The incident took place at Allianz Stadium on the night of Thursday, November 16, 2023.

The woman reportedly tried to climb over seats on the upper grandstand level of the stadium as the concert drew to a close. Paramedics were promptly summoned to the scene at about 10:15 pm, responding to a distress call that a woman had fallen during the event.

The woman was immediately transported to St Vincent's Hospital in critical condition. She is currently at the hospital in an induced coma due to the severe injuries she had on her face and head. A NSW spokesperson discussed the incident with Sky News, calling it "terribly sad," and noted that their "thoughts and wishes" were with the woman and her family.

While the woman falling and hurting herself was a tragic incident, Williams' concert did see a proposal that the singer acknowledged. He paused his set and allowed his fan, Daniel, to propose to his girlfriend, Lauren.
