Robbie Williams has spoken out in defiance against terrorism after the Manchester attack ad a Ariana Grande concert last month.

The American pop star’s fans and their families were subjected to a horrific ordeal when a man set off a bomb at the Manchester Evening News Arena.

Robbie, who is a former member of Manchester-based band Take That, stood up for the city in the face of fear at his show on Friday night.

He was performing at the city’s Etihad Stadium and walked on stage to a mix of Land of Hope and Glory with six dancers alongside him.

The musician then went on to sing his hit Let Me Entertain You, before declaring: “We are Manchester and we are not f—king scared!”

His fans collectively burst into a huge cheer after listening silently to what he had to say.

Robbie recently embarked on a sell-out tour from the same arena where 23 people were killed by the terrorist last month.

US performer Ariana fled back to the States straight after the terrible incident at her show.

She returned this week and visited recovering victims in hospital in the Manchester.

Grande has flown back to Britain ahead of the One Love Manchester concert which includes other stars such as Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Take That and Miley Cyrus among others.

It is set to take place at the Old Trafford cricket ground on Sunday and aims to raise money for the victims of the attack and their families.
