The most incredible moment of the performance, however, was his rendition of the ballad Angels, which he dedicated to the late cricket legend Shane Warne.
He described his friend Warne as “Australia’s biggest rock star” as the cameras cut to his grieving son Jackson into the crowd at the world-famous sports ground.
The pop star also paid tribute to John Farnham – who was recently diagnosed with cancer – with a rousing performance of his signature song You’re the Voice, which the entire audience sang in unison.
