OMG a tour would be :faint:
BUT only if he really really wants to and is up for it.
He must also do it for himself and not only to make the fans happy.

But omg i hope he does a tour.

i love the idea of a tour but if rob is not ready for it
i would hate to think he would get sick again i dont want that to happen
it is horrible if they are forcing him like that

hang on they say they want him to start doing gigs in november
thats european winter what the hell:shaz: that is also the time his
greatest hits album is planed for well end of yr and the colaboration album with TT...... what the hell are they doing planning all of this stuff all at one time......................if he gets sick i will blame manegment not fans
sorry this tour should be left till next year mid yr 2011

Think he should only do it if he is really up for it... and he should make it a short one and see how he gets on....

my worry is, if he really isn't interested is he likely to pull out part way through?

Waiting for another blog :cof:

my worry is, if he really isn't interested is he likely to pull out part way through?
i am also worried about that i tell you i got worried when he pulled out of the asian part of the tour in 2006 i thought he wont show up in australia after that but he had 6 weeks rest then came here and finished the tour i hope it doesnt happen again you get excited and worried at the same time

I ONLY want Robbie to tour if he is happy to do it, otherwise, I wish he wouldnt. I hope he doesnt bow down to the pressure that is on him to tour and ONLY do a tour when he is ready. Otherwise as Missus has said he may well end up pulling out half way through.

I know it may sound selfish and mean, but I don't care what robbie wants :tease:
The only thing I know is that I wanna see him live (come to Greece Robbie!!!!)
Listen to your record company!!!

I would love to see Robbie Live again,:faint: but I still say He is in charge of his own destiny, and He wont tour unless He wants to. They cant make him tour:jack: it will be his decision:yup4:

Thanx for the news

but hopefully that might convince him!:yahoo: :yahoo:

Personally I would prefer if he'd just be clear about his plans, or if he has not decided yet to not give any vague hints.........:cof:

This is what I call cranking up the hype!

Of course the whole world wants him to tour and all this talk is just adding to the excitement and anticipation....

Whether he will do it or not I don't know - it's too late now to promote RKTVS and a new album will only be greatest hits according to the press so what's the point....

We know he knows we love him. If he wants to tour then well and good but I'd see it being next summer 2011 at the earliest...think about the logistics of getting venues and the all important money making merchandise ready in time...even IE couldn't do that in a couple of months surely - or at least they couldn't if the decision hasn't been made yet.

C'mon Rob - tell us when you will be back in Croke Park so I can start taking the vertigo meds.

Personally I would prefer if he'd just be clear about his plans, or if he has not decided yet to not give any vague hints.........:cof:
i agree..so we can start saving money haha

I would love to see Robbie Live again,:faint: but I still say He is in charge of his own destiny, and He wont tour unless He wants to. They cant make him tour:jack: it will be his decision:yup4:
:ohmy: Actually they probably can make him tour. It depends what his recording contract is. He may have to or face being sued again :lol: :rofl:
I would really love to see Robbie as I have never seen him.:yahoo: At the same time I also am a little worried in case he feels as bad as he did on the last tour. There is part of me however that thinks now he has his life sorted he may actually enjoy it. This maybe the tour that gets him over his stage fright :wink3:

This is what I call cranking up the hype!

C'mon Rob - tell us when you will be back in Croke Park so I can start taking the vertigo meds.


:yup4::haveit:

I can't wait to see him in Croker again.............. Free or not :lol:

Reading this makes me feel sick to my stomage, it gives me the creeps. I have no idea if the story is true, but I hope he won't give in until he's 100% ready and up for it. I just can't feel happy if I have to worry about his wellbeing every evening he get's on stage.

I would think his management would gently try to get him on board. After all, as far as I know Robbie is the biggest money making maschine at IE music, and their base of exsistence, and only a tour makes the money role in, not album sales. I guess his managers are in a very difficult position too.

If he tours we all will have to carry him through by showing our support every evening, and I hope him having Ayda by his side would help too.

I really don't know what and how to feel. I would honestly be satisfied with him doing lots of TV shows and blogging or podcasting regularly (whitch he hasn't done regularly during this promo).

Personally I would prefer if he'd just be clear about his plans, or if he has not decided yet to not give any vague hints.........:cof:

Or blog about it, after blogging about the end of the promo :cof:

If he doesn't want do it and gets forced to I wonder if his shows wouldn't be what you're used to. I say you as I've never actually seen one over here. The DVD's have been the best I've ever seen though.

.......... Tour or not Tour ........


Robbie do it when you will be ready and most important if you want do that :lr:

I have no idea how Rob really feels about all this as most of the comment has come from the press and the odd mention from him in some of his recent live concerts.
From what he has said I would actually say no to a tour as he is clearly not ready.

If I have to be really honest I am really gutted that after years of waiting for him to return, I have not had the opportunity to see him live at any of his recent gigs.

By the sound of it these gigs have been fab, intimate and relaxed with Rob on top form. Just how a live performance should be.

If what I will get to see is a worried Rob, who can't relax and enjoy the night, I would sooner say don't do it as he clearly isn't ready. The critics will get their knives out, fans will be polite about it all but quietly be a bit disappointed that he wasn't at his best and we may well end up where we were before with Rob in a pickle.

I have recently been in a situation where I had to do a big presentation in front of lots of people. It was really important, a really big deal and I worried day and night about it for a whole 9 months before the day. The worry almost made me ill (I am 2 stone lighter though!) and question why on earth I was putting myself through it (other than to pass a qualification!)
I guess what I am trying to say is I can see how Rob feels and he has to do it in fronts of thousands!

I know some will say, but that is what he does! Yes, but people change, your body copes with different pressures and he doesn't seem ready for those pressures.

I think he should stick to a few more intimate short notice gigs with simple production to prove to himself he can do it and not have months of fear and dread of what is coming. Hopefully one day I might get a ticket, but that is the downside for many fans.

Getting the census of the majority of peoples feelings whether he should tour we the true fans of course would love this to happen, however i feel that we all want him to feel comfortable in doing so, if he isnt ready, we can wait!!!! November to me feels a bad choice, summer months larger venue (open air) more fans together eg Knebworth style would in my opinion be better, but at the end of the day it's his show, let him decide when it should happen.

i agree..so we can start saving money haha
yes saving money but i have to loose lots of weight also
i want a ticket for the front row so i need stamina to stand up also to be able to run to the front

I just hope nobody will press on him.
All of us can't wait to see him again, but if this could mean to see him like 3 years again, NO THANKS.
Robbie gave us too much, if he's not ready for the stage now, doesn't matter...
This time he had promotion everywhere, or almost.... In 10 minutes we can have the same we'd have in two hours show.
It's not the same thing, ok, but I think the most important thing is to see him happy in what he's doing, alway.
It's been so hard to see him in his last tour in Australia....
If another world tour could mean see Robbie in that condiction, I really hope he won't do it again.

i really hope he wants to do it because we really want it for you rob

i am desperate to see you in concert

I will love to see him on tour again....but if he doesn't feel ready to be on the road again...that's ok, I think we all wait for him :lr:

and like some of the girls well said: we are right on time to save money and loose some weight to be ready for him!! :shell:

Of course I would love to see Robbie again on a ‘proper’ tour where all fans have the opportunity to buy tickets. I also wish he would stop going for the ‘’sympathy’ vote by asking ‘’us’’ at gigs :search: Either announce a tour or don’t…either way his decision (or his managements) will have consequences…

Nina, if this article is correct maybe he's going with Leanne's alphabet tour and starting with an Ozzie summer. But I'm over the guessing, I just want to know one way or the other what is going on, I think his fans deserve that much. Tour or not Rob, your call but please put us out of our misery either way!!!

i agree robbie has to tell us real soon if he is gonna tour or not getting fed up wondering this is one time he needs to stop being secretive

How would he tell us? I don't think he remembers he has a web site :blush: He doesn't communicate with his fans when he's not promoting, and to be frank, he hardly does when he is promoting either...

well one thing he has to do is stop smoking weed and start taking some
MEMORY PILLS and someone is eles is gonna have to remind him to take them
he needs to get his head out of the clouds(and asre) and get to work:foottap: and stop behaving like a baby:baby:
there are so many celbs out there who work till the are old and i mean 60`s and 70
and remember he has a site and he has fans

:pmsl:

Probably it will be Neil who will tell us, as usual... :slow:

I think he needs to strike while the iron is hot...tell us he is touring if he is rather than all this guessing and wondering!

you know I think some of you are being very disrespectful and quite unnecessary. Robbie is no different now than he was in 2006, 2003 or even 2001.

He has always forgotten his lyrics. And, way back then I remember fans saying how lovely it was. Just because the promo didn't suit some of you, and although I was very lucky myself with this promo, I do understand how fans feel, I want the world to see Robbie, that is how high I rate him. This promo was done for Rob and Robbie, he probably was scared to come back full on with big announcements about tours etc after the slating Rudebox got here in the UK. And his team had to look at the options to ease him back in to radio, TV and performing again and very possibly this was the only way to get him back.

And this promo was a way to gage his populairty and to see how the album would do. Now his management, and his PR company and Robbie know the stats. They know what they can acheive from this point on.

So, now think about the reasons behind the promo now it has ended and with hindsight you might see it the way I do now.

I totally agree with you Robstar and have said similar in posts recently. People need to try and see the bigger picture.
It's show business and things will happen when they are planned to happen. I believe that the promo was structured in a way that was Rob and Robbie conducive and it worked!....and that is why we still have our pop star and one that is more than likely to tour and in a way that he feels comfortable with.

you know I think some of you are being very disrespectful and quite unnecessary. Robbie is no different now than he was in 2006, 2003 or even 2001.

I disagree…he is different to the previous promo tours. Not bad different, just different...he almost seemed detached and going through the motions.

'Different' is good though…he’s 36 years old, in a stable relationship, he wants different things from life…that’s what ‘’growing up’’ means…but then he should just say it and move on…stop this playing games, using his nerves as an excuse (it’s not a reason but an excuse not to tour) and going for the sympathy vote…

He also needs to find a different way to interact with his fans when he is on stage. What he did on previous tours won’t work …we are ‘’growing old with you Robbie’’…you need to play catch up….

u go girl nina, lol
:pmsl:i wanna whip his butt for driving us all insane
it would be so much better if he wasnt hot as hell damm him
for driving us around the bend:foottap:

robstar i dont know if i am included on your list of disrespectful fans
i always defend robbie at every oportunity i can
i do agree he has to do the comeback at a pace that suits him and is more comfortable after all he is on stage not me
but he needs to get his arse moving and decide what he is gonna do
i have patience with rob but it is wearing out a bit i wanna know if he is going to tour yes or no he said at the begining of the promo
the next few months will determine his future well the album is sold
videos all released numbers of album sales should be in his hand so they shoud tell him what the future holds......he knows we are desperate to see him...........i dont belieive some coments made by fans here that he might not fill a stadium anymore i think they are very wrong in that
we are so hungry for him...............he really needs to make up his mind and stop playing games with us before it is to late and he looses all of his devoted fans

Yep, Nina, I agree. I'm very glad for all those that go to see him this time around and I think he could still fill stadiums many times over. I would love for him to tour again but would just like to know if that is going to happen or not. I really don't think that is asking too much!!!And if the answer is no, not in the immediate future, well I'll just sit and wait coz I'm not going anywhere!!!

i ain`t going anywere either ozzie we can sit and wait together

i am glad someone agreed with me
i dont wanna be harsh towards rob as i do adore him so much but this is one time tough words need to be said:foottap: R-O-B-E-R-T

I read a few comments that confused me.
Robbie is an artist, a singer, so wether he likes it or not he has to perform ( I wish he enjoys it because otherwise it would be a non-sense ), it's part of the business' cake, BUT it's up to him (& his management) to decide when, where and how he does/will.

with two and half million people all trying to get tickets for the Orchid, the chances are he would still fill out stadiums, but do you want him to do stadiums? and would it make any difference to any of us liking him any less if he couldn't fill out a stadium, it wouldn't to me, anyway he would fill out a stadium because hopefully if there is a tour he won't do too many of them.

there are options, what about a residency at the O2. Or would that go down like a lead balloon lol. I really wouldn't mind if he decided to do a big gig in a middle of a field on mainland Europe. Anything, anywhere I wouldn't care. I'd get there lol

and, yes Mon, he appeared to be distracted at times, but I saw him at the CIN concert and that was Robbie how we both remember him. :yahoo:

The big question is: can Robbie have a career without touring? He is a good singer, a good songwriter and a charismatic personality - but the place his talent shines the most is on stage on tour.

The interesting question is imo: What happens if he doesn't tour? I am 100% convinced he is going to tour. I just hope someone from management hits the breakes before it gets out of hand - this time there can't be a rush to break Guiness Records in ticket sales (it would only be him breaking his own record anyway). As much as I'm sure Robbie really enjoyed the fact that he sold that many tickets, it evidetly soon turned sour.

I disagree…he is different to the previous promo tours. Not bad different, just different...he almost seemed detached and going through the motions.

'Different' is good though…he’s 36 years old, in a stable relationship, he wants different things from life…that’s what ‘’growing up’’ means…but then he should just say it and move on…stop this playing games, using his nerves as an excuse (it’s not a reason but an excuse not to tour) and going for the sympathy vote…

I agree Robbie has changed and I think that’s perfectly normal and this is not in any way disrespectful . What we live, the facts of life, the emotions, the experiences we do change us. Robbie has lived so many different experiences and emotions in the past 3-4 years that have changed him as a man and as an artist. If I’m not wrong he said in one of the first interviews of the promotion something like “New Robbie, old Robbie and a Robbie you have never seen”, I can’t find the exactly words now but I think that’s so true

you know I think some of you are being very disrespectful and quite unnecessary. Robbie is no different now than he was in 2006, 2003 or even 2001.

Can we as fans and his people stop treating him like a child. He's a grown man and he's still being babied. He's using his stage fright / nerves whatever one wants to call it as a crutch and as an excuse. He's not going to keel over if he does a short tour and yes that is part of his job; part of the business that he's in. If he doesn't want or doesn't like this part of his job then he should find another job. I know that if I had a problem with performing a certain task of my job I would - a) HAVE to do it OR b) find another job.

IF he didn't want to come back when he did now or wasn't ready to, then he shouldn't have. He kept going on about how important this album was to his career yet he didn't mention the album in the promo interviews. The promo itself was a little half assed imo. And how can they gauge his popularity when the audience at the promo gigs - majority of - was made up of competition winners. AND if the promo was done for Rob and Robbie well then that's where he and his people went wrong. As much as it is to sell his album... the promo should be done FOR the fans and in consideration of the fans, who, might I say, have been EXTREMELY patient and understanding with him and his will he / won't he and just him being away for 3 years; but this promo has been done without thinking of the fans at all, it wasn't fan friendly in the least.

I agree completely with this. Phone competitions and exclusive contract concerts have to be the most fan-unfriendly way of doing things.

Completely agree, and for him this kind of decission, that for us is finantially difficult to make, is quite easy

:marianne: Are you suggesting him to quit his job/career ?:hh:



:sos: Robbie, don't listen to them :noway:

:whistle: strike while the iron is hot...minime the iron is stone cold now

He's got people that want to see him, he's just released an album, whilst his performances aren't exactly hot in people's opinions he is better off touring while he is fresh in people's mind...if he leaves it longer, everyone will be like 'Robbie who??' he wasn't on the radio much during 3 years, but at the moment he's back on the radio 3, 4 times a day! He needs to do it now or wait and release another album and then tour

i understand what you mean minime i can tell you it wasnt hard to forget robbie when i had the radio on during the last 3 yrs..the radio st played rob`s songs 3 times a day and he was not even working in fact there was one week were they asked listners to ring up or email there favorite songs
they played the topp 500 during the week rob started at number 490 they played 10 songs of rob`s he even took the number one spot as most favorite song that song being BETTER MAN
i do understand minime not all radio st`s do play him i think i have been lucky to have robbie playing 3 times a day even when he was not working

I don’t think any fans posts have been disrespectful to Robbie, just honest :clap: Respect works both ways…:cof:

My feeling, and yes no doubt I am wrong, is that IF Robbie tours he will announce it at the same time as releasing his Greatest Hits album and it be the Greatest Hits tour.

I'd put money on that being their plan too Tasha :thumbup:

oh god if you are right we got 6-7 months wait
god help us all:rena:


tasha you are most likely right he releases his greatest hits album and that is for his 20 yrs in music so his tour would also coincide with celebrating that
even if it will be one yr later i think thats what it will be for
there is no other reason for it RKTVS will be in it`s coffin by then
