Laura you are right but this has dramatically changed. Since maybe Rudebox he lost his guts to try something. You can step away for long if you are till on top which he isn't. If you are not a Robbie fan and not follow Ayda there was only one topic which made the press: The interview with this conspiracy theorist Anna Brees. Liam has the advantage to be rock rather than pop. in pop Ed Sheeran and the youngsters are too strong for Robbie having a place at the top still by staying away from the public. Humans need the feed these days otherwise they change to the next more accessible star. And with his talents I think this is sad.

could be Alex and I think he will do Knebworth with the 20 year anniversary, but what do I know. he must have a plan. Do you have an idea how they pay these venues? Sold tickets or a lumpsum?

this is what I meant some weeks ago I do not understand: he is not doing anything people outside his fan base see. And even what he des is on Ayda's insta. For me Robbie has become the forgotten star and as he is so good it is sad. During his imperial days he could do that. He could stay away for two years and comes back stronger like Adele is even able to do for 6 years. But does he realize that these years are gone? Yes, next year the movie will make some headlines, but how many stars have a biopic now. So he always waits until he is not the first anymore and plays save. I always think 'I hope he does something' and then he does and I fear he will not sell out the concert. Liam by the way has added a second day in Knebworth. Maybe 2023 for Rob....

There was a show with Helene Fischer announced some weeks ago at the same place and she sold 100,000 tickets. It is special German music and she is the hugest German speaking star. I see some discussions online if Rob will still sell 150,000 tickets. What do you think?

I am surprised, whatever it is I would not have expected something for this year: More tickets for Bonn? Some concerts in Berlin with his rave music? An award? Guest in the one off Wetten Dass show this year?

So I read that Liam G. is playin Knebworth next year. Smart move. People are so hungry for concerts he will easily sell several nights. Ed Sheeran will be next. Would there be a chance for Rob's jubilee? or will he say I did it and that is enough?

This year everyone with a huge name is bringing out an album from ABBA to Elton John. He will not invest in this as he would be chanceless to get another no 1. Next year if all will go well he has already two concerts scheduled, there will be the film which seemed already to been bought by several countries, so he will think this is the time for the dance album and the art first and a real album to the end of the year hoping that the vibe will increase with the right promotion. 2021 I don't think we see something aside instagam post of the next vacation

thank you, Alex

I see that you are very likely right in anything especially the patience :-)

Do you think something is 'going on'? Far more instagram posts of Ayda, especially with selfies also of herself. Maybe she will do some beauty campaign soon?

this is what I do not understand either. Robbie is speaking about so many things so many years and nothing ever comes true. Not the TV shows, not the rave album and so on. This is a pattern Covid independent. I sometimes think that if you consider how massive he was in the nineties and until the mid '00 years even when he came back in 2010, he is the most forgotten superstar. When he at last starts to do what he planned the hype in pubic for the sujet (disco for example) is over again. And even his promotion is not the best when he is doing it. Fans can be happy to appreciate good or very bad Ayda postings. who is not interested in Ayda though has no idea that Rob still makes music. Oh yes, we get sometime some better or very odd podcasts

Aren't they? They really seem to be very good parents also offering the children to see the world WITH them, learn languages and most important a lot of love

this is the unfortunate bit....will we ever see this?

Oh my, pure love from me for this Robbie. When I saw Slane on tape first 20 years after it happened I was speechless

maybe this is the band Rob wanted to be part of originally?

it is the new hobby of the stars I have the impression, everyone seems to rent a yacht (or has a billionaire friend owning one)

was there a tweet of Rob to congratulate Ant? I am wondering what happens with him sometime... (Rob, I mean)

many artists have published new music at least. Either he has something really special on the cards or we see robbie vanishing in irrelevance with an hit in 20 years when people start to remember. I think he lost his competitiveness and likes being with the family. Fine for them not for us.

holidays and more holidays? I do not even know where they are holidaying these days. Personally I lost hope for our popstar as popstar. I remember when I saw the Leeds concert and was hooked, then looked older concerts, Slane, Knebworth.. then there was hope again with the Hyde park one two years ago. But now? If I want to see Robbie I maybe lucky on Ayda's instagram and usually he looks rediciolous. all the good music is on his computer instead to give it to the fans if he will not make money out of it anyway. I am not sure about the movie as Australia is in lock down. If he has secret plans they are very secret

I had a power outage two times for several hours, no internet for work, so I was, ok let's first make a coffee .....oh, no power. It was very silent.

isn't he extremely skinny? Charlie I mean :-) ?

Still I do not get that all Rob is delivering to his fans is Ayda's instagram account holiday pictures. It seems that he is doing nothing else than very expensive 19 month holidays. Some time ago he said in an interview that his lifestyle is very expensive and without new things to come he can only afford it for a certain time. Maybe he already received quite some money for the movie to come as it is already sold to distributors. But while most artist somehow show signs of life these days also for the general public from Rob there is nothing. He must love this life of his. As a fan or even a person casual interested in his music I would so wish to have an artist back with a real good haircut and nice clothes, good music or at least good stories to tell and some perspective to look forward to. He really starts to become irrelevant and a has been for those who at least liked his music. The last weeks there were many theme days in different TV programs where they show old and new concerts. Rob was always part of it either with RAH or Leeds or Knebworth, nothing anymore while other 'old' artist still are shown (Coldplay). There are more important problems in the world :-) I fully know. But somehow it makes me sad with the potential he has.

Do you really think it will be better with people acting that irresponsible> The most new cases are in the countries where the restrictions are down, like UK and the Netherlands where I am living. I think also with vaccination this will stay quite a while with us :-(

yep, you are right and I maybe superficial in that, but as a 'fan' I so would like to have the Robbie of the bodies or Progress time back, even with all grey hair and older. But these clothes and I think his deal with WW has ended so he can eat again like he wants :-)

Is there any kind of tendency people can have to look as ugly as possible? Let me a bit superficial now: Rob was very handsome a teen, as young man, then he became handsome sexy in his own right. But since years especially on vacation or time off he simply looks underwhelming? no hair, if hair than uncombed hair. Shorts and T-shirts that make him look fat (or he gained that much weight again with the good food which unfortunately always shows around his belly) And then you see pictures underneath from the Beckham's of this world in perfect shape. Not that I think you have to overdo it but a bit look for style, a bit more body consciousness (healthwise) would not be that bad....Superficial thought :-)
