You will be right, Tess :-)

the movie will be shown world wide as I guess it is Robbie Williams like the greatest showman is Barum. But you cn watch the greaatest showman without having ever heard of him. My thought is, if the movie will be successful also the Biopic will be shown in the uSA. Personally I believe that this is the last attempt for Rob to break America as they call it and this time his heart is in it. He said it himself: Think big. The hotel, the TV show and possibly America different than it was considered to be broken in the 90ties, why not?

I saw quite a lot of tweets during the weekend about Ayda maybe joining this Beverly Hills housewife reality soap as it was indicated that the new person will be an ex friend of Chrystel with whom Ayda was fiends. I have only watched this one time years ago when the hype was huge. Do not like reality soaps so it was gone then for me. Can you imagine this is true? First I was like 'no way'. On the other hand Ayda will not be with Rob during the tour yet it seems and it would be a good hook for the USA and making already pre-advert for Better Man and the Netflix biopic.....

Oh Vibe, what a great coincidence. Malta will be huge, grab the chance. also love Fil Eislers comment

wow, how amazing is this for Lucy and Matt Rob's entire PR could need some helping hand from talented fans

I still like Intensive Care (it was when I became a fan) and RKTVS which has songs like Blasphemy

if he adapts the setlist to the hits in the specific country this is great as we will hear win some, loose some too in Australia. Still would love to hear Ghosts and H.E.S. Amazing work, Alex with the video. Thank you.

i love come undone

Ale you make us curious :-) By the way have we heard more about the Dubai gig end of January which had been rumoured?

320 mill dollar I read not including the real estate

Thank you, Laura

Is the Israel one confirmed?

I think that he is n a good place in the moment. He is hungry and will do what it takes to keep his family's lifestyle. I don't think that this is so much about his fear, but him wanting the family secure. Also Alex, your argument about the length of tours even through two years is interesting. I guess it costs so much to create a tour with all its technic and logistic that they have to tour long with a certain equipment. What I realize following a bit the scene in NL and Germany is, that many artists who had been huge in tours before the Pandemic and very famous still in record sales could not sell enough tickets these days and cancelled the tours. Considering this RW is indeed still in the top 20 of touring artists.

When I read British tabloids online after a Rob link is posted I see the name of this Gemma Collins quite regular and usually linked to her losing weight. Is she a British actress or reality star? (I have not read the article and would not be interested if not Ayda interviews her :-) )

Do you think there will be more? Do we have an idea when the Netflix documentary will be broadcasted?

and he definitely does not share the concern of us that he is doing too many shows :-)

You are for sure right with what you say, Laura. I would also not think tat what he is doing this and even more next year is healthy considering what tours can do to people, especially those with the past of Rob, physical past and mental past. What I think is more what I believe he has done: He was networking, he recognizes chances especially with the way American's do busines by spreading out. Rihanna is a billionaire but did not have a hit song for many years. Then the concept has to be brought to life so either you invest your on money, or you are on top of the game and everyone wants to invest in you like Adele or Ed, or you need to have the investors convinced. He showed that the brand RW is still a pull several times, maybe not as much as in the past, though live shows sell. So I assume they offered deals which include doing the tour while the movie and the documentary will come out or in preparation. The financial guys do not have interest in health. He will also have considered that this is his last chance to also get America on his side (with the movie) where huge money is, and invests in the future when music might not feed the family anymore. For people with Rob's background he has achieved a lot. Many sources say that his fortune is around 350 million. But he fears he can lose this. He has quite an expensive lifestyle and wants to keep it for his children. He has also a lot of people around he simply supports and feeds. So he gives it a chance. This is at least what I think listening to some of the podcasts he did during covid. The fear to lose it all is huge in him, the feel of responsibility and in addition work might be his new obsession. I hope he has people who look after him. 2006 he had his managers, Jonny and no one stopped him in time despite they love him. The money was too good. Now he has Ayda and I think she will also put in breaks. At least this time all seems well thought through.

And there will be the movie promotion. Do we already know when the Eurovision Song contest will be as he wanted to sing there? And there is Latam..in several interviews he said he would go there too....maybe 2024. Does anyone know (Alex :-) ) how many people ill watch now with the new shows added?

thank you. Alex

I think that in his earlier years, even during his imperial phase it was only music a musician did. There had been some like Snoop Dog who already diversified into fashion, but most did music and became rich by the contracts like the EMI one and album sales. This has entirely changed. Rihanna is making more money with fashion than any music since a long time, Kayne West and so many more. Fashion, Make up, and alcohol is the business trend, restaurants then and I see most of those being quite successful. You need to have a certain level of fame though. I think that during Covid Rob had time to make a clear planning: Can i keep my lifestyle in the future: The answer is yes but only if he tours and this is straining. So he networked. I saw the people mostly on the Ayda pictures and wondered about the connection as some had nothing to do with music but business. If he will be successful next year will be one of the best years of his career. So he will start the other businesses which feed the family on high standard right then or afterwards I believe. Will be very interesting.

This is an interesting read as Serge Brunschwig is related to the person who sold the Geneva ground to Rob. He has friends with the Givenchy's (the finacial brother of the fashion Givenchy) and a lot of other names where you say 'oh' when you google them. He has definitely found people who can sponsor what he is doing aaside of music.

Does anyone know how many tickets will be on sale for the Sandringham concert? Is it small or huge when it comes to audience only (not the honour)

Thanks Alex. It will be a very busy year for Mr. Williams

There was another one announced today, Alex. Either Spain or Portugal, I don't remember.

Oh that is special. Yes, maybe the OBE at least is near, what a year ahead...
