Sam Fender will be returning to Newcastle United's stadium again later this year as he'll headline a huge homecoming show.
Magpies fan Sam will be the first local to headline St James' Park when he plays to 55,000 people on June 9.
The celebrations with new pal Sam came just weeks after Robson admitted that a certain look on his mother’s face ultimately made him yank himself from the grip of drink and drugs.
In an exclusive chat with the Mirror, Robson told how a spiral into addiction grew as work took over and he lost his sense of self, along with his connection with home and his mining family in the North East.

Speaking more candidly than ever about that time, Robson recalled he was “haemorrhaging inside”, despite all his success, adding: “When you smell of drink and you look like a drunk it’s not nice, and there was just a certain look on my mother’s face that made me actually change.”
He recovered and has continued to enjoy a more balanced success.
