    Robbie Williams Gets Boris Johnson Makeover for 'Can't Stop Christmas' Music Video

    by

    In the festive single off ‘The Christmas Present’, the ‘Angels’ hitmaker lightheartedly sings about coronavirus social distancing rules and frustration at being bored in lockdown.

    Dec 15, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Robbie Williams has transformed into U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson for his tongue-in-cheek music video for “Can’t Stop Christmas”.
    The “Angels” hitmaker has unveiled the promo for his pun-filled festive song, which references the 2020 coronavirus pandemic.
    And for part of the clip, he donned a blonde wig and blue suit to look like the British leader as he pretended to take charge of the government’s COVID-19 press conference, with the slogan “Can’t Stop Christmas” on his podium.
    The Dan Massie-helmed video begins with Robbie at home, sitting by an open fire and Christmas tree, before he turns on the TV to see Boris (played by Williams), who is joined by two scientific advisors. There’s even an appearance from a dancing Theresa May, Johnson’s predecessor as Prime Minister.
    In a joke about coronavirus social distancing rules, the “Rock DJ” hitmaker sings, “Santa’s on his sleigh, but now he’s two metres away!”

    On another line, he jokes that “socks and sanitiser will do fine” as a Christmas present.

    While Robbie, who shares children Theodora, eight, Charlton, six, Colette, two, and Beau, 10 months, with his wife Ayda Field, also sings out his “frustration” at being bored in lockdown.
    He belts, “Why oh why are we all waiting/ The whole damn world anticipating/ Beyond boredom past frustration/ The planet’s locked in what ifs and maybes.”
    The single is taken from Robbie’s double album, “The Christmas Present”, which features the likes of Sir Rod Stewart, Bryan Adams, Jamie Cullum and Tyson Fury.
    The standard copy was released last Christmas (19).

      And Williams is also planning to become a real-life Rock DJ and perform at new music venues and art galleries he plans to open around the world.
      “What I’m gonna do is rent a space, put my art in there. During the day it’ll be a gallery,” he explained. “Then at night I shall be DJing and it will be a musical venue, something the old folks will call a rave. I’ll be on the espressos. Oh yes I will. Quadruple espresso. Doing it old school.”
      “I’m very, very excited about this. I want to do it in Berlin. I also want to do it in Tokyo. I wanna do it in several places… It’s one of them things; it’s a passion project. If something happens then great, if not, I’ve just had fun.”
      Back in July, Williams teased a new project with his former bandmate Gary Barlow. Whwn asked about potentially working with Take That again on Mark Wright’s “Heart Evening Show”, he revealed, “I’ve been writing some songs with Gary Barlow in the last few weeks too.”

      The ‘Radio’ hitmaker hints at another Take That reunion project as he reveals about having several songwriting sessions with one of his former bandmates.
      Jun 28, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Robbie Williams has insisted “Take That will ride again” after teaming up with bandmate Gary Barlow for several songwriting sessions in the past few weeks.
      The 46-year-old singer delighted fans by joining Gary, Mark Owen, and Howard Donald for a livestreamed fundraiser last month, May 2020 – the first time he’d performed with the band since 2018.
      But it hopefully won’t be the last, as Robbie was asked about potentially working with Take That again as he was interviewed on Mark Wright’s Heart Evening Show” on Thursday night, June 25, 2020.
      “I’ve been writing some songs with Gary Barlow in the last few weeks too,” Robbie said when interviewer Mark asked him if there were any more Take That plans in the pipeline.
      However, Robbie remained resolutely tight-lipped as to when a potential reunion could take place.
      “Yeah, so, you know, we will ride again, me and my brothers,” he said. “I don’t know when that’s going to be but we will ride again.”

      Take That Delivers Classic Hits During Reunion With Robbie Williams

      by

      YouTube

      Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, and Howard Donald have reunited with their former bandmate and performed their classic songs for an online fund-raising gig on Youtube.
      May 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Robbie Williams thrilled Take That fans by joining his old bandmates for a virtual charity gig on Friday night, May 29, 2020.
      The “Angels” star teamed up with Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, and Howard Donald, for the Compare The Meerkat concert on YouTube, and joked about his late arrival as he tried to beam in from Los Angeles, where he is self-isolating with his wife, Ayda Field, and their kids.
      “I’m here now,” he joked as he appeared onscreen. “Last time, I was 15 years late.”
      Robbie left the band in 1995 but he has rejoined for occasional performances – the last one in 2018.
      He joined the trio for a performance of band classics like “Back for Good”, “Shame,” and “Never Forget”, while wearing an eye-catching pink leopard print blazer.
      The bandmates also chatted about their lockdown experiences, with Donald revealing he’s tired of reading children’s stories to his kids.
      “I’ve read more books than in my life,” he grumbled.

      Fans were clearly stoked to see the quartet back together even though another former bandmate, Jason Orange, was a no-show, with many taking to social media to rave about the virtual reunion.
      One fan tweeted, “Free Take That concert, this is the best evening ever,” while another user added, “Loved watching you all together again, was a real tonic I needed. Thanks guys.”
      Robbie previously joked about hiring a private detective to track down Orange.
      Speaking on his “At Home with The Williamses” podcast earlier this week, he said, “None of us know where he’s gone. I should hire a private detective. He finds out where Jason Orange is, we inject him with a beeping thing, a chip, then we know where Jason is at all times.”

      Instagram

      The Take That alum hopes the coronavirus lockdown ends soon because he can’t wait to get his ideas turned into television shows for his foray into TV business.
      May 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Robbie Williams is looking to build a TV empire after revealing he’s working on five new show ideas.
      The former Take That star, 46, told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper he’s looking to kick off the next big TV franchise, explaining, “There is a new avenue that I am moving into, TV. I am very, very excited about it.”
      “I hope we go back to normal soon because I have got so many TV ideas that I wanna do,” he continued, adding, “A myriad, a smorgasbord.”
      While the “Feel” hitmaker teased he has “literally so many” ideas for future projects, he was reluctant to share too much information about the new concepts.
      Meanwhile, fans can look forward to seeing the star on-screen next week as he teams up with his former Take That bandmates Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, and Howard Donald on Friday, May 29, 2020 for a one-off virtual gig to raise money for charity amid the coronavirus pandemic.
      “I am really looking forward to performing with the boys again – it’s always a pleasure,” he said while announcing the Meerkat Music gig. “If we can’t go to the stadium… we’ll bring the stadium to us.”
      Take That formed as a five-piece in 1990, and enjoyed success until they disbanded in 1996. They later reunited in 2005 as a four-piece, without Robbie, and now perform with Gary, Mark, and Howard, following former member Jason Orange’s departure in 2014.
      Tune into the concert on Compare the Meerkat’s Facebook and YouTube pages at 8 P.M. BST on May 29.

      Robbie Williams Never Regrets Turning Down Offer to Front Queen

      by

      During a radio interview, the former Take That member jokes he didn’t like the idea of taking a pay cut when revealing that he was once asked to join the rock band.
      Mar 5, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Robbie Williams turned down the chance to front Queen because he didn’t like the idea of trying to replace Freddie Mercury and taking a pay cut.
      The former Take That star revamped the band’s “We Are the Champions” with Brian May and Roger Taylor for the “A Knight’s Tale” soundtrack and the rockers were so impressed they asked him to consider joining them in Queen.
      Williams admits he was flattered but he didn’t feel he could come close to replacing Mercury – and he didn’t fancy splitting stadium concert cash with his potential bandmates.
      “I was doing stadiums myself at the time,” he tells SiriusXM. “I didn’t want to have to split it three ways, but that’s another story… and I just thought I’d save them the audacity of me even trying to step on a stage and be the same echelon as Freddie Mercury. He, to me, is angelic. He’s godlike. It was just too scary.”
      Robbie doesn’t regret passing up the opportunity to front Queen, insisting they eventually found the right man for the job in Adam Lambert. “If he wasn’t such a lovely person, which he is, I would just be terrified of him, because of his pure talent,” Williams adds. “His voice is absolutely incredible. And he’s an incredible performer, and a lovely person to boot.”

      “I’m really pleased when I meet people that I’m just overawed by their talent… and they’re nice. It’s much better than meeting people that give you a talent hard-on and they’re a**holes. You’re just like, ‘Oh, I hate everything you’ve done now.’ ”
