British pop star and ex-Take That member Robbie Williams is set to make his metaverse debut with a 25th anniversary live concert designed as a 3D experience in the virtual city of LightCycle.

LightCycle, a virtual city with elements of art, film, gaming, music, fashion, sports, real estate and shops is expected to “open” its digital gates in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Robbie Williams released a new version of his 1997 song ‘Angels’ last year. ‘Angels (Beethoven AI)’ was created with the help of Artificial Intelligence, which was used to add Beethoven-style compositions to the legendary global hit.

“Staying connected with my fans has always been important to me. I am fascinated by the Web3 space – it is full of creativity and impressive possibilities. It’s also a great new market for music discovery. As an artist, I’m always looking for ways to move forward, so this is the perfect next step in that journey,” the singer said, according to Variety.
