Posted October 8, 200618 yr http://www.emimusic.at/at_images/layout/emi.gif Hamburg. AP/baz. Superstar Robbie Williams does not want to extend his spectacular record deal with the music corporation EMI. http://www.baz.ch/_images/showbiz/RobbieWilliams2005.JPG “The machinery of the music industry makes me sick, and I pray for escaping from it as soon as possible†says the 32 year old to “Spiegel†magazine according to a pre-announcement on Saturday. Robbie Williams has in 2002 signed the highest record contract in UK history, granting him approximately € 12 Million per album. After the expiry of the contract he would like to “sell music independently from a record company†says Williams. * […] (goes on about his career start with TT and his new album Rudebox) From Spiegel online: The pop marytr On stage he is an exceptionally gifted clown and heart-breaker. With his now album Robbie Williams opens the second chapter of his career. The “lusty² pop doll†(Williams about Williams) wants to be taken serious as an artist finally. Williams is among the most gifted artists on this planet. Just as well he fills out the role as pop-martyr so heart breaking, as no one has since Kurt Cobain. “First you do everything to go ahead.

October 8, 200618 yr Author This is pretty shocking but I am delighted. EMI are an awful record company and always have been. :smoke:
October 8, 200618 yr Author Only 1 more as far as I know. Probebly a Swing album :smoke: By the time the contract is up he will have sold over 30 million albums since 2002 :o

October 8, 200618 yr wow...good news that he is leaving EMI. i wonder what the next album is gonna be, i hope its not a swing. although swing when your winnging was great its been done before i would prefer something new. but i really dont care any album would suit me fine
October 8, 200618 yr Author He is going through the contract extremly quickly so my guess is we will be getting another new album this time next year :D It's great for the fans :D EMI must be well pissed of cause Rob is their biggest solo act :lol:
October 8, 200618 yr He could always release an album of B-Sides and finish his contract even quicker. <_<
October 8, 200618 yr He could always release an album of B-Sides and finish his contract even quicker. <_< thats true...but once he is free from EMI what stops him from retiring for good :cry:
October 8, 200618 yr Author Nah, he said a few months ago that He will continue making albums and would like to put as much as 3 albums out a year but does'nt want to do another world tour :(
October 8, 200618 yr Nah, he said a few months ago that He will continue making albums and would like to put as much as 3 albums out a year but does'nt want to do another world tour :( oh geez so i guess if i wanna see him again i gotta fly to england :cry: ...like that isnt too hard to do :rolleyes:
October 8, 200618 yr No. I can't see him doing another Tour on this scale anyway. And if it's going to affect his health as much as it seems to have done then I'd rather he didn't to be honest. :cry: I'm still hoping for a few dates here and there. But I'm kind of resigned to the fact I may not see him 'Live' again... :cry: :cry: :cry:
October 8, 200618 yr oh im sure after a long rest next year he'll tour britain again but i doubt he'll go to many other places
October 8, 200618 yr Author He'll probebly do a smaller tour in a few years. Germany will definatly be included since he is as big there as in the UK :lol: It will be very interesting to see what happens anyway. You never know though, he could always sign with Sony BMG with Simon Cowell and have Louis Walsh as his manager :rofl:
October 8, 200618 yr Author Oh God save us. :o He'd better get a stool looked out then. :lol: Yep, we can expect nothing but cover albums from now on :P
October 8, 200618 yr I happened to chance upon Strictly Come Dancing last night. :puke2: And there were Westlife, serenading the dancers to 'The Rose'. Honest to God, I thought, this is a bunch of young guys. What do they really think about doing this kind of c**p? Or is it all just about the money? :unsure:
