Daniel Rooney opened for Take That in Glasgow at the last minute.
The Scottish singer drafted in to replace Olly Murs supporting Take That at the last minute has said he thought it was a “wind up” when he was asked to rush to the arena.
He was asked to fill in by TV presenter Ross King just 30 minutes before the show was due to start, as King was watching Rooney play at the Radisson Hotel opposite the arena.Rooney told ITV’s Lorraine: “I’m halfway through my set, I’m on my break, I’ve played for about half an hour.
“I’m thinking: Right, who’s trying to wind me up here? But he was telling the truth and I packed up my stuff – I had another half to go, but I said to the restaurant owner: ‘I’ve been asked to play the Hydro, I’ve got to go!’”He said: “We ran over and we got there and he went on and he was absolutely amazing. The boys saw him before and after and it was just a lovely moment.
“For him to then go: ‘Right, there’s ten thousand people that need entertaining.’ Fair play to him, that’s amazing. You know what, credit to him.”
