Sydney woman who died at Robbie Williams concert identified

The woman who tragically died after falling down six rows of seats at Robbie Williams' Sydney concert has been identified. 

Robyn Hall, who was in her 70s, passed away at St Vincent's Hospital after spending a week in an induced coma after the fall. 

Her son Michael paid tribute to his mum on Facebook, saying he had lost his "best friend". 

“I haven’t got the words to say what my mum meant to me,” he said.

“Taken from under me and my best friend is no longer with me … I love you forever.”

A family friend said Hall loved the British singer and had “thoroughly” enjoyed the evening before tragedy struck.

“She was one of those ones who looked 50 but was 70. She took care of herself and didn’t need carers,” he said.

“Robyn was the most beautiful human I have ever met. Through all adversity, she smiled, hugged and laughed her way through,” he said.

“Broken hearts amongst all her family and friends, she will be missed by all who knew her.”

Robyn had remained in an induced coma since Thursday November 16th, when she was rushed from Sydney's Allianz Stadium where Williams was performing on his Australian tour. 

It is understood that Robyn was climbing over chairs when she slipped and fell down six rows of seating. 

Paramedics were called to the stadium around 10:15pm, after Robyn suffered serious head and face injuries. 

She was treated at the scene before being rushed to hospital.

The sold-out show kicked off just after 7pm and had wrapped by about 10pm when the 40,000 fans began making their way to the exit.

It was around this time the woman began climbing over the seats and fell.
