BOY band Take That rocked a crowd of thousands as they played a huge North East concert last night.
The heartthrobs were at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light, the only North venue to host the band on their record-selling 14-date UK tour.
The singers, who will play a second gig at the stadium tonight, brought hordes of screaming fans to the region.
One, Georgi Potts, 24, from Jesmond, Newcastle, said: “I’ve loved them since I was 10 years old but I was too young to see them, so I’m happy they’ve come back to the North East.”
Liam Snedden, 25, of Newcastle, said: “I only got my ticket last week and this is probably the only time I will ever get to see them live. I always sing Take That songs in karaoke.”
Meanwhile, Geordie pop princess Cheryl Cole and the girls were in Newcastle for the latest Girls Aloud concert at the Metro Radio Arena.
Thousands of fans could be seen converging on the venue to see their girl band heroes last night.
