Robbie Williams fan dies after catastrophic fall during concert in Moore Park, Sydney
A Robbie Williams fan died after a catastrophic fall during a concert in Sydney last week.
The woman, in her 70s, fell over six rows of seats during the pop star’s performance in Moore Park last Thursday and was left fighting for her life.
Saint Vincent Hospital confirmed on Tuesday afternoon that the fan had died.
It is understood the elderly fan tried to climb over rows of seats before slipping and falling down.
A spokesperson for NSW Ambulance told Daily Mail Australia that paramedics were called to the scene at around 10.15pm last Thursday.

“We were called about reports of a woman in her 70s who had fallen,” the spokesperson said.
“We treated her at the scene for injuries to her face and head and took her to St Vincent’s Hospital in a critical condition.”
A spokesperson for Venues NSW said stadium staff treated the woman before emergency services arrived.
“The patron was immediately attended to by venue staff and a local guest who is a qualified medical professional,” they said.
“Medicine arrived shortly afterwards and the patron was taken from the venue to hospital by ambulance.”
The latest pop concert tragedy follows the death of a fan last Friday during a Taylor Swift concert in Brazil.
Ana Clara Benevides, 23, fainted during the show at the Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro as the city was under a heat warning.
According to her cousin Estela Benevides, Mrs. Benevides is believed to have suffered cardiac arrest.
Swift begged stadium staff to give concertgoers water in clips shared on social media.
