Balloons were released at the end of this and George Michael followed singing " Freedom ! ' 90 " and " White Light " . A group of mods on scooters followed invading the arena ; one of them carried Ricky Wilson to the stage where his band the Kaiser Chiefs proceeded to cover The Who 's " Pinball Wizard " ; during the song the scooters continued to circle the arena .
