DARTS hero Adrian Lewis wowed a crowd with a brilliant rendition of a Robbie Williams hit.

The two-time world champion showed there's another string to his bow - apart from arrows - with a touching version of Angels.

The Stoke star, 39, swapping flinging for singing on stage at Darts Boston.

The exhibition event showcased oche legends including Phil Taylor and Raymond van Barneveld, with fans having the chance to take on such top names.

But Lewis served up an unexpected treat when he picked up the microphone rather than his darts.

Fans responded with a mixture of hushed respect and impressed cheers as he performed a karaoke classic.

But perhaps he should have opted for another of Williams' famous numbers - and adapted it to "She's the one.. hundred and eighty"!

Lewis - aka Jackpot - has had a challenging time in recent years.

He lifted the Ally Pally crown in 2011 and 2021 but his form has gradually dipped since then.

The four-time major winner has also been caring for his ill wife Sarah.

And after announcing he'll take a break from darts, he decided not to take part in the qualifiers for this year's World Championship.

That's one reason Lewis will lose his PDC Tour card for 2025.

But he's also said: "It was never my intention to put the darts away forever.

"I never said I was retiring and there was always a possibility I was going to come back.

"I didn't really have the hunger, which I knew I needed to have to succeed. 

"My wife has got an incurable kidney disease so we were in and out of hospital a lot of the time.

"Then, my daughter, she's disabled, she's got autism and it was just all getting too much for me. That's not going away of course, but we can learn to deal with it."

So it was especially gratifying to see Lewis looking relaxed and singing such a gentle version of Angels.

And he lifted everyone's spirits still further as he finished it by belting out "COME ON!"
