    Robbie Williams fans start your engines, your man has been here for two days (he flew into Durban on Saturday, having changed his original plans to arrive this morning) and is now raring to go.

     

    Williams, who has been keeping a pretty low profile in Cape Town for the past two weeks but has managed to party as well, is promising to rock the socks off this city. He opens his world tour here today in front of 40 000 fans, many of whom have flown in from overseas.

     

    Preparations for the show, especially the actual staging, are very hush-hush.

     

    Williams, who is a showman of note, has brought 35 of his own crew with him. In the business, Williams and his production team are known for laying on spectacular concerts. So expect the unexpected.

     

    It is his first tour in three years, and entered the Guinness Book of World Records for the fastest selling concert after 1.6 million tickets worth $187 million (R1.1 billion) sold out in hours on November 19.

     

    For those wanting to be at the forefront of things - within hand-shake distance if he does a duck into the pit, there are two holding areas (one for golden circle, one for field tickets) that have been open since 10am this morning.

     

    Arm bands are being handed out for those in the holding areas so that they can leave the area and return when the gates open at 5pm.

    UK support act Wired Daisies are due to open the concert at 6.30pm, followed by Freshly Ground at 7.30pm and then Robbie at 9pm.

     

    While Durban is the first stop in his five-month world tour, including 40 concerts in 14 countries, the savvy entertainer achieves another milestone today when a new cellphone is launched that includes a link into Robbie Williams's website and plays his songs

    .

     

    It is another step in a "digital revolution" that the recording industry must take advantage of, not spurn, his manager said.

     

    The "Walkman" phone to be unveiled today contains Williams's music and live video clips.

     

    Williams, one of Europe's most successful entertainers, has angered music industry executives in the past by praising internet piracy, once even calling it a "great idea".

     

    In an interview before the British pop singer's world tour, his manager Tim Clark said the industry should classify digital music seekers as customers, not criminals.

     

    Defending the piracy comments, Clark said: "The recording companies are taking a big stick to people who are not criminals at all.

     

    "What Williams means is that if we can't provide the fans with the wherewithal to do it (download) legally, frankly it's our fault and not theirs.

     

    "If they're not providing the carrots, they're leaving it to others who will."

     

    Clark said Williams, who in October live-streamed a Berlin concert to 100 000 mobile phones, wanted to push the "digital revolution" further. He said the new phone deal made with T-Mobile and Sony Ericsson was just another step towards that aim.

  4. Williams' manager defends music pirates

     

    Robbie Williams' manager has hailed the digital audio market and defended the singer's outspoken views on music piracy.

     

    Tim Clark has spoken out as the star launches a new mobile phone which links to his online music and video.

     

    Williams has irritated the music industry in the past by defending illegal downloading of music. He reportedly once called it a "great idea".

     

    Clark offered an explanation of the ex-Take That member's views. "What Williams means is that if we can't provide the fans with the wherewithal to do it legally, frankly it's our fault and not theirs," he explained. "If they're not providing the carrots, they're leaving it to others who will."

     

    He added: "The recording companies are taking a big stick to people who are not criminals at all."

     

    The manager continued to say that Williams was keen to be involved in the digital future of music. "Digital sales are a reality – it's clear that the physical sales are dropping at double-digit percentage rates," said Clark. "It's about being part of that future.

     

    "Even though there might be some drawbacks now – some people say the quality of compressed music is not as good as CDs. They are right, but that will improve dramatically over time."

     

  5. Charlotte Church To Move In With Robbie Williams

     

     

    Charlotte Church is proving she has friends in high places by becoming Robbie Williams’ house mate!

     

    The Welsh singer is planning a 3 month working holiday in Los Angeles and her mum Maria has suggested staying with Robbie while she is there.

     

    However, Church’s boyfriend, Welsh rugby player Gavin Henson is reportedly seriously pissed off that his woman will be spending so much time with Robbie.

     

    A source told the Daily Star: “Robbie and Charlotte have both been in the business for so long. He looks out for her like a brother would.

     

    “When she was younger Robbie would keep an eye out for her. He’s aware of the pressures that come with hitting the big time early.

     

    “Maria was worried about Charlotte being on her won in LA for so long, so she asked if Robbie could put her up.â€Â

     

    “Gavin couldn’t see the sense in it. To him, there’s a handsome successful bloke that many women adore and his girlfriend is to stay with him.â€Â

     

    Maybe tangoed Gavin would be a little more attractive if he didn’t stink so badly of desperation…
