La banda Take That ha batido el récord al mayor número de espectadores en una tanda de conciertos, al acumular 623.737 espectadores durante los ocho conciertos que dio en Londres entre 30 de junio y el nueve de julio.
O sea, 77.967 por noche, que llenaron el estadio de Wembley y dejaron una recaudación total de 42,7 millones de euros.
Sus cifras superan la última gran tanda de conciertos de la historia, la que dio Bruce Springsteen en el Giants Stadium de East Rutherford, Nueva Jersey. Entonces, el Jefe dio 10 conciertos seguidos, vendió 566.560 entradas y recaudó 26,7 'kilos'.

Lobster floors Robbie Williams
ROBBIE Williams will be steering clear of LOBSTER for a while after a brutal bout of food poisoning.
The Take That star has spent the past 72 hours running to the bathroom on tiptoes and shouting for his pal Huey down the pan.
The manband had been due to play the second of two dates in Copenhagen's Parken stadium on Saturday night but had to pull out at the last minute.
In an official statement the lads said Robbie had been left unable to perform because of food poisoning.
And Bizarre can reveal it was "grilled Danish black lobster with lobster salad and saffron aioli" to blame for leaving him with a bottom like the Japanese flag. In a brief moment when he wasn't on the khazi, he posted this pic and a message on his blog yesterday.
He said: "Hey folks. Thank you for your messages and love. I'm not completely out of the woods yet but feeling much better.
"Gutted for everyone involved with the tour. Feeling dreadful for letting the fans down. I'm so, so sorry. Here's me and my drip."
Robbie has ended up with dehydration and in need of the drip because he has lost so much fluid.
A source said: "It hasn't been pretty. It's all down to a dodgy lobster he ate at a hotel. Jason and Mark wanted to go ahead and do it without him, so as not to let down the fans. But there was something to do with the insurance that stopped them. I think they would have had to pay back on the tickets if people there said they wanted to see Robbie and they'd done the gig without him. They are in Amsterdam tomorrow and I think everyone is just hoping he'll be well enough to perform then."
Robbie might need a cork and a serious dose of Imodium first.
The bar 'n' grill terrace at the hotel where Robbie ate boasts plenty of seafood on its menu. But as Gary always says, stick to the club sandwiches on tour.

Comunicado oficial: Cancelación del concierto en Dinamarca
We are truly devastated to have had to cancel tonight's show in Denmark. This is the first show that we have ever had to cancel in our career as a band. It was a horrible decision to make and one we agonized over.
On Friday night, Rob suffered serious food poisoning from something he had eaten after the show. He was violently ill all night and well into the morning. At 10am this morning, he decided to relocate to his dressing room at the stadium, in the hope that he could recover and prepare for the show. Doctors visited him twice during the day and despite prescribed medication he was still vomiting at 4pm this afternoon. The doctor insisted that he was not fit to perform tonight.
The five of us then had a decision to make: Should we go on with the show without Rob or should we cancel altogether? What would be fairer to our fans? What would people want? It was a very, very difficult decision. In the end we felt that as this tour is about the five of us being back together, and about celebrating that reunion, it would be wrong to go ahead with the show. We also knew that no matter how hard we and our team worked, in the short time we had to make the necessary changes to this hugely complicated and technical production, the show could never be what we wanted it to be, and nor could it be what our fans expect and deserve from us.
We are now back at our hotel and still cannot believe what has happened. Rob is still very unwell, and we are all just focussing on getting him better so we can put on our show in Amsterdam this coming Monday.
We would like to say from the bottom of our hearts that we are truly sorry to all of you who have bought tickets for tonight's show.
Thank you for your continued support.
Love Mark, Gary, Jason, Howard and Rob

TT's plane struck by lightning on way to Milan
TAKE That are used to whipping up a storm on stage but don’t usually find themselves at the centre of real one.
The band’s plane was struck by lightning as they flew out from the UK to the Milan leg of their tour.
Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Robbie Williams were left terrified as bad turbulence hit at 35,000ft.
The quick-thinking pilot had to steer the plane to safety.
The S.O.S singers were flying off to play their first non-UK European date of the Progress Live tour in Milan’s San Siro stadium.
A shaken source said: “The plane took off fairly normally, though we knew there was bad weather ahead, but mid way during the flight the turbulence was really quite frightening.
“Then suddenly, there was a bright flash, and the plane had obviously been struck by lightening.
“The pilot had to make an announcement and reassure the passengers that everything was all right.” We hate to think what UFO fan Robbie, 37, must have made of it. Perhaps he thought the aliens were invading.
The source continued: “The Take That boys were obviously quite shaken up but they just buckled up and sat tightly in their seats.
“Their knuckles were pretty white though.”
Gary, 40, would have been particularly worried as earlier this year he revealed that he is a very nervous flier.
Asked what super power he would like to have, he replied: “Flying for me, because it means I wouldn’t have to go on a plane again. I don’t like aeroplanes, not a fan.”
We can’t think that being hit by lightning is going to make him more confident in the air.

Record pic at Take That gig
THE Sun broke a world record at the weekend - by taking the BIGGEST pic in live music history.
We shot a 20 gigapixel photograph of Take That's final gig at Wembley stadium on Saturday.
The 360 degree picture is so detailed you can zoom in and see every member of the 85,000-strong audience in high detail.
We took the photo to mark the band's record-breaking eight-night run at Wembley.
You can view it here from 1pm today. If you were lucky enough to be at the gig you can tag yourself on Facebook.

The story behind the LED jackets
A Middlesex University student will see his work shown in front of millions of screaming fans, after playing a key role in creating innovative jackets worn by Take That during their 'Progress' tour, which arrives in London today (30th June, Wembley Stadium)
Second year BSc Product Design student, Djorn Fevrier, was selected to form part of a team tasked with designing and producing jackets featuring strips of LED lights, which flash in different coloured patterns as the band move across the stage. Working for top designer Moritz Waldemeyer, Djorn was chosen to help with both the creative process and the programming and testing of the LED strips which ensure the crowd-pleasing jackets play their part in the spectacular concerts.
Moritz Waldemeyer selected Djorn for the project after being impressed by the expertise of Middlesex University students when previously working with them on projects including a music video for pop star Ellie Goulding's single Lights and an advert for Mercedes-Benz TV.
Moritz said: "Djorn was fantastic. Take That were thrilled with the jackets and were impressed with how quickly we were able to create them, which was down to the team. I couldn't have asked for a better group. The jackets look great."
Djorn Fevrier, 22, from Watford said: "Moritz is a brilliant teacher and really values your input and ideas. I've previously worked on similar projects for carnivals, but nothing on this scale. I learnt a lot from the project and got a chance to work with very talented and inspirational professionals."
Djorn's creative talents are set to be seen far and wide, with Take That's tour including dates across Europe.

The story behind the Big Yellow Man
MOVE over Robbie – Take That have a gigantic new star, and he’s 100 per cent Brummie through and through.
The Big Yellow Man, the gargantuan aluminium statue which lit up the stage at Villa Park this week for the band’s sellout concerts, is a huge local celebrity, with his roots firmly in the city.
The all-conquering monstrosity which appears to reach out to the fans was produced by Bordesley Green stage set specialists Total Fabrications Ltd.
They built the 100 feet high statue in just 12 weeks for Take That stage designer Es Devlin.
The project was the biggest yet for the small Bordesley firm, which has worked with a string of worldwide rock and pop acts over the years, including the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Kylie Minogue and Phil Collins.
Total Fabrications Ltd owner and founder Chris Cronin said: “We are very proud of the Big Yellow Man, and I am particularly proud of the achievements of our guys who produced it.
“It should have been impossible because of the scale of the project and the timescale involved – but it has exceeded everyone’s expectations. The Big Yellow Man is unique, a total one-off.
“The Take That tour is the biggest UK touring production ever, and to be part of that was great.
“We were given 12 weeks to do the job and we had to build two Big Yellow men because the show is so big and spectacular. It’s an all-aluminium construction and was a real challenge – nobody has ever built a Big Yellow Man like this one before.
“The project was of such a size that we had to take on another 20,000 sq ft building. It’s bigger than the Angel of the North, standing over 100 feet high and 200 ft wide. It takes six days to build and dismantle it; the Villa Park one is now on its way to Milan.
“The guys had to work at such a height that we had to have extra scaffolding put up. There are 50 people in our company and we had to have another 30 freelances.”
The £5 million annual turnover Birmingham firm is one of only three of its kind in the world, with just two rivals in the UK and the USA.
