Thank you, Alex. South America seems to be a good market for BM. He should really tour there. He has not been there for a long time and they still hold the faith. Are there new streaming/DvD figures?

What I like about Guy Chambers is that he seems to be serene and happy and content with where he is in life.

Do you think that he will cancel the tour, Laura? It will be difficult but I cannot imagine him doing so. If I counted correct there will be around 1.7 million people seeing him even if not all concerts are sold out. This would be an insurance debacle and I cannot imagine after the movie he would risk that. At least the movie had great reviews something he could count on as positive. I assume the calculation has been: Successful movie, album, tour, lifestyle label, further tour in South America and maybe NA. Now everything has to be re-calculated to: tour, album, and let's see. Plus, I assume that he wanted to have new songs on this tour. For the general public it may not be a problem but his fans may not be happy to hear the same setup. Not everyone is on a Robbie fan page thinking about his struggles. And yes, I think that he tours because of the money. They have an expensive lifestyle, four kids to be educated in the best way affordable and some family I am sure his money takes care for. He seems to feel the disappointment professionally and the pressure personally. Like all of us only on a different level. I am not sure if it is more difficult to deal with this when you are an average earning human or a highly paid popstar. Aside of this when I am - rarely -at the VIP magazines Germany and the Netherlands offer there are really only very few stars left who are stars because of music or movie. Most are a mixture of influencer and social media personality. Plus the star of the day like yesterday Taylor Swift and today Sabrina Carpenter or Timthy Chalamet. The business is young people business (Aside you are legend like the Rolling Stones)

If I read these kind of posts I always wonder if the upbeat Rob we saw during the BM promo was real or if he had to play a role. I also wonder if it would have been like this and him feeling unwell if the movie would have been a success. It seems that success at least milders his depression mode. Hope he will be getting better soon. He has a huge tour ahead.

It sounds good

I read that Gary will release an album the end of the year. And I read that Rob is recording new music. If he continues like this, Gary's album is out later the year just as he seems to have said it and Rob's will be out whenever forever

I would love to come for this one.

thank you, Tess, I will.

Thank you. If hope the streaming will do the success a benefit. I also hope that Junno will have a push in his career despite the lack of box office success. He sounds very nice.

I liked the collaboration with Sander van Doorn however one of my favourite collabs until today is the one with Avicii. It was very successful either aside in the UK where it had only been released later. I also remember that Avicii and Rob had not been in the studio together for doing the collab. If they would have met they would have had possibly quite a talk about mental health in the music industry. I miss Avicii. It seemed that he had been a very decent man.

I have seen quite some positive reviews from South America. But how well does it do in the cinemas? Any ideas?

I like this one very much. Often there is a lot of truth in Rob's inklings and comments to them.

Thank you, Tess. This will be something to keep the eye on.

it seems to do well in the first week of streaming in the USA. Hope it stays like that.

It is amazing what Rob and Jonny have created with Soccer Aid. They can be very proud.

I wonder if Lufthaus will ever return or is dead as side project for Rob

I am still amazed how great this movie is reviewed around so many different countries. Even with the success not mirroring this it is special. I wonder how the revenue is now. Should be around 23 million. Alex, you are the champion in watching the movie I feel. I have seen it one time in the cinema but will buy the DVD.

I am not entirely sure but something popped out on y instagram Robbie timeline as if he is in Asia?

I still think it was planned different and would have been different if the movie had been a success. The new album would have been the 'aftermatch' without further PR then. Now he needs to do PR again for the album and it is too straining for him, plus the general public will be tired of the same questions he is asked and the adapted answers. New album equals at least few new songs. He will not include Lost and he will not include Forbidden Road aside on occasion as they had also not been hits. Personally I also think that they last minute changed the concept of the tour. He has music to come with Rock heavy participants. This would be then unlikely a feather boa concert. I also think that the movie being unsuccessful has more impact on him and his career and his financiers then we might think. There are some facts which cannot be disregarded: USA does not want to be open to his music and with the climate there in the moment they will not be open in a forseeable future Youngsters who had no mums as fans do not know him rather than a memory and Angels And looking at the Bob Dylan movie and its success it also shows that he is not a legend enough for a movie carrying his story outside of his main lands. If the movie would have been accepted different when there would not have been the monkey? Well, maybe, but i am sure then what he can see as a success would have been missed: the incredible good reviews. I am a bit struggling to see his future promising aside on what he always did. This will stay.

i do not know any of the winners

agree

So the huge plans are cancelled to your opinion, Alex? Many of us have thought he would invest in USA and maybe he would if the movie would have been successful. For South America I am wondering that he still seems to be famous there after he has not toured there since 2006? They seem to be even more faithful than Germany. It might be a financial strategy, but if I see that TT really went to places they had not been a long time, I wonder why Rob is not doing this. What about the album? If it will be out only end of the year then the tour will have the old songs again? Then I read this morning that there are some requests of football clubs to boycott the club WM in the USA which would mean that once again he is in bad luck (despite I don't think the boycott will happen) What about Dubai, hopeium? In the moment I have the feeling he had given up again on the huge attempts and is back to the standard Rob whichis for me sometimes not serious enough (I mean the music and career topics not his struggles).

There are quite many posts on twitter from Spanish and Portugese speaking people. I wonder how BM is doing/ will do in South America. It would have been great if he would have been there in person one time.

There is a video of her from the beginning of her career in a car with a friend and they sang Rock DJ loud. A woman with taste.

He seems to post from Switzerland so I assume he and Ayda will not be at the Oscars :-(
