Robbie Williams lines up HUGE names for 2025 album as he defends Oasis over ticketing scandal
NEXT year is shaping up to be a huge one for Robbie Williams and his fans.
We will see if he wins his first Golden Globe nomination for his song Forbidden Road for his biopic Better Man, and he will also release a new album.
It seems he’s going all out for the record, with Coldplay’s Chris Martin making a surprise cameo along with some of the biggest names in music.
Rob said: “Who have I got on my album? Gaz Coombes [from Supergrass] and Chris Martin’s played on something.
“Glenn Hughes from Deep Purple played on something. Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath played on something. I know – Black Sabbath to Deep Purple.”
Rob will also embark on a huge tour playing stadiums up and down the UK.
Bizarre previously revealed how the Rock DJ singer had taken a swipe at Nineties rivals Oasis for using dynamic pricing, but he added to The Face magazine he actually feels sorry for the backlash Liam and Noel Gallagher have received.
Robbie said: “I think that the whole music industry just learned something.
“I’ve never sat in a ‘How much are we pricing the tickets?’ meeting. And I don’t believe that Oasis did either.
“Liam definitely didn’t know ‘this is how much tickets are going to cost. We’re going to do this thing called dynamic pricing’.
“I only know about dynamic pricing because of Oasis.
“Now, with the ticket prices, the whole industry’s just gone: “Yeah, we can’t take the p*ss.”
“So I believe I’m not taking the p*ss.
“I also live in a bubble, and I don’t know how much a pint of milk costs.
“I want to be worth the going rate.
“Whatever price you put a ticket at, somebody on Twitter will be outraged.
Robbie added: “Tickets are only too much if they don’t sell.
“If you sell out, or if you sell 95 per cent of the tickets, they weren’t too much.”
KATY’S BELLE OF BALL
KATY PERRY was seemingly Hot N Cold at as she headlined night two of Capital FM’s Jingle Bell Ball with Barclaycard.
The pop icon opted for a tiny red skirt and strapless crop top as she took to the stage at London’s O2 Arena.
She teamed the skimpy outfit with a huge pair of white faux fur boots.
Katy belted out 14 of her biggest hits as well as festive single Cosy Little Christmas.
If you missed out on tickets then Katy will kick off her first UK arena tour in seven years next October.
You can bet I will be there front and centre.
BECKY’S SO ON POINT
BECKY HILL was in the mood to get p-leathered at Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball with Barclaycard on Sunday.
The Outside Of Love singer dressed head to toe in skintight red pleather including heeled thigh high boots and a corset style dress.
Becky has just returned from a near sell-out US tour but won’t be putting her feet up over the festive period as she’s jetting off to New Zealand and Australia for a string of shows later this month.
She previously told Bizarre she has set her sights on global domination . . . it’s safe to say she is putting the work in.
JK TURNS DOWN HONOUR
HARRY Potter creator JK Rowling has revealed she has turned down both a Damehood and a peerage.
The author made the revelation as she responded to an online fan campaign to make her a Dame.
JK wrote on X yesterday “I really, truly appreciate the sentiment but in fact I’ve already turned down both a damehood and a peerage.
“This is for entirely personal reasons, ie, I’ve never wanted a title.
“Thank you, though.”
RITA ORA and a host of famous faces including Jude Law and Mel C have teamed up to celebrate the advancement of human rights around the globe.
On social media they have read out re-imagined sections of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on its 75th Anniversary.
Spice Girl Mel C spoke about the right to opinion and freedom of expression.
She said: “It is one to be honoured, without repression.
“Think or say what you wish, and share ideas through any media, regardless of frontiers.”
JOKER JIM IS IN THE MONEY
JIMMY CARR is laughing all the way to the bank after another bumper year.
In new documents filed to HMRC, Jimmy earned almost £5.5million in 2023, thanks to his sell-out Terribly Funny Tour 2.0.
And even after paying off his bills – which included £269,877 to the taxman – the funnyman was still left with £5.2m.
Jimmy is set to bank millions more this year thanks to his time on the small screen – including the return of hit gameshow I Literally Just Told You.
Carr also released a Netflix special, called Natural Born Killer in April.
Keeping himself busy, the star is currently on a new UK live tour, called Laughs Funny.
He is set to play shows across the country until December next year.
LOREN LIGHTS UP CHRISTMAS
BRITAIN’S Got Talent champ Sydnie Christmas recently got her, err, Christmas wish.
She teamed up with her idol, The Greatest Showman singer Loren Allred, for a cover of Over The Rainbow.
Our Jack was on set last month as the pair filmed the clip at a villa in West Hollywood.
While the singers were ready for the snap, Jack was too busy munching down the free pizza laid on by Sydnie’s team.
Sydnie said: “It was a dream come true to record the track with Loren and to record the video in LA with her.
“It’s such a beautiful thing to meet your idol and she’s everything I wished for her to be and then more.”
