Robbie Williams has opened the BBC’s Electric Proms series with a headline show at London’s Roundhouse. He was accompanied by a full band and string section for the gig which showcased new material from his forthcoming album Reality Killed the Video Star along with some classics. Acts including Dizzee Rascal, Doves and Dame Shirley Bassey do their own Electric Proms shows later this week.
The Bodies singer caught up with Radio 1′s Scott Mills to tell him about how his comeback’s been going, his life with partner Ayda Field and what was behind him shouting, ‘I’m rich beyond my wildest dreams’ when he signed a contract thought to be worth £80 million back in 2002.
This is what Rob wrote about his performance:
What a lovely audience the other night..
I know listening to new stuff can be a bit of a bore..But everyone was
lovely and received it with kind hearts and consideration
so thank you very much….
Read what Rob wrote about it:
So i’m stood behind the Jumbo screen waiting to go and peacock…Dermot does a lovely introduction “Blah,blah,blah..lovely stuff and niceties…Ladies and gentlemen Robbie Williams!” At this point in the rehearsals the music starts….The doors open…..BUT LIVE…..The music starts…The Doors don’t open..
