Robbie Williams’ European tour will start in Manchester on June 19, 2013 to cement his legacy in pop history. He is still one of the most popular British pop singers. His boyish looks, turbulent lifestyle, popular music hits and highly entertaining multimedia-rich stage appearances made him very popular within the music industry and among his loyal fan base.

Born on Feb, 13 1974 in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England, Robert Peter Williams always wanted to be famous, ever since he won his first talent contest at the age of 3 for impersonating John Travolta. Robbie joined ‘Take That’ in 1990 after his mother persuaded him to apply for an audition held by the band’s future manager Nigel Martin-Smith. The boy band quickly topped the charts and gained worldwide popularity by experimenting with the boy band/Brit pop concept. During Robbie’s initial years in ‘Take that’, the group released 3 studio albums, 17 singles, 19 music videos and 6 video albums.

During his time in the band, Robbie performed lead vocals on the first hits like ‘Everything Changes’, ‘Could It Be Magic’ and ‘I Found Heaven’. The band won multiple Brit Awards and had 54 number 1 hits and 35 number 1 albums worldwide. Their ballads were so popular that they’ve literally dominated UK music charts during the 90s. Robbie’s career in ‘Take That’ ended in 1995, after his personal and legal disputes with Jason Orange, Gary Barlow and the group’s manager – Nigel Martin-Smith.

The start of his solo career is marked by his version of George Michael’s ‘Freedom’ and ‘Old Before I Die’, a single from his first solo album. Both of these singles topped the British charts and took the second place. His first big commercial solo breakthrough came with a single ‘Angles’, taken from his first album ‘Life Thru a Lens’.  The song became both British and international bestseller, while the album sold in excess of 3 million copies in Europe alone.

In total, Robbie Williams released 5 compilation albums, 9 studio albums, 41 singles and one live album. His third and fourth solo albums, ‘Sing When You’re Winning’ and ‘Swing When You’re Winning’ came in 2000 and 2001. Williams released a total of 6 singles from the first album. ‘Rock DJ’, ‘Kids’, ‘Supreme’ and ‘The Road to Mandalay’ were among the most successful ones.  ‘Swing When You’re Winning’ also brought his duet with Nicole Kidman, which resulted in their version of ‘Something Stupid’, which became instant “top 10″ hit across Europe.

Robbie’s last solo studio album, ‘Take The Crown’ was released in November 2012. By his own words, the singer will continue working on his successful solo career and collaborating with ‘Take That’ when the circumstances allow.

Williams will be joined by X Factor star Olly Murs. Will you be buying a ticket?

With his new album coming out, Will.i.am he is “nervous” about the upcoming release date, and he likens it to sending your youngest kid to school on the first day of classes.

#Willpower, is the release that Black Eyed Peas star is soon to release as a single album, which is set to be released later this month. Having taken many risks on the record, he is hopeful fans are going to appreciate the manner in which he produced the work, and some of the collaborative work he has done, outside of his traditional role with the group.

He has worked on the album for over one year, and has a few collaborations with other artists including Brittany Spears (scream and shout and this is love). Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber are a couple other big industry names he has worked with on this album that is soon to be released.

The artwork for the album was debuted last week, and features Will’s head, in front of an orange background. Since the hiatus in 2011 which was announced by the Black Eyed Peas, this is the first work he has released for fans.

Fergie, his band mate, is expecting a child with Duhamel, and Will believes she will relish being a mother. Since Where is the Love went to the top of the charts in 2002, ten years later not many believed Will. i.am would be topping the charts. However, since that period he has been behind many big songs and titles. Having collaborated with Jennifer Lopez, Nicki Minaj, and Brittany Spears, he has taken on big titles, and put out several big tracks.

He has also made appearances on a number of top TV shows and movies, in addition to his music career. He did the “Instant Def” TV commercial series for Snickers, along with his Black Eyed Peas cast members. He also starred in Madagascar 2: Great Escape, voicing the character Moto Moto. He also added to the soundtrack for the film, with a few of the tracks placed on the record.

In X: Men Origins, Will.i.am played his debut role as John Wraith, and guest starred in Joan of Arcadia, as God (one of many who played the role). In 2011, he starred in the animated film Rio, as the cardinal named Pedro, and also added to the soundtrack of this film as well. In Urbs, Sims: The Movie, he played a fathering role, where a Black Eyed Peas song is used in the album. In Date Night, with Tina Fey and Steve Carrel, he played a small part as himself in the film as well.

On BBC’s the Voice, Will.i.am is also playing one of the voice coaches for the contestants that are on the show. He also plays a role in the TV series 4music, where he works as a presenter. In this spot he presents some of the hottest club mixes and club songs in the series Will.i.am Hijack.

Getting Invited To A Party

A lot of people take it for granted when they are invited to a party and especially if it is a Christmas party and tend to think that they are doing a favor by going for the party. The fact is that you are invited to an important party like the julefrokost because the family considers you as a close friend or family and they would want your presence during the season that is all about loving each other and sharing. If you are a good guest, then you will generally find your way into the guest list of the parties that are held by others and the family in the future. So what should you do to be termed as a good guest?

Being A Good Guest

• Never go to a party empty handed. Always carry a gift for the host like flowers or a bottle of wine or some candies.

• Never stay for too long and create a situation that is uncomfortable for the guest.

• Always offer to help your host in receiving the guests, getting stuff from the kitchen or the fridge and be proactive in understanding what help the host needs

• If you spot another guest looking uncomfortable, talk to them and make them feel welcome and who knows you may even get a new friend.

• If the hosts are busy with something, keep the guests entertained by taking over the role of the host.

• If you notice that the supplies are running short, just run out and fetch it for the hosts. This can also help you in getting the stuff that you like from the store

• Always ensure that you say goodbye to the hosts before you leave and let them know that it was a great party and thank them for inviting you.

Helping In Party Planning

If the host of the party is a very close friend then you should help them in arranging and planning for the party. You can give them your help and suggestions on the party arrangements and arrive early to help them get things organized for the party. You can also take this opportunity to suggest some new innovative ideas to host like a party on a party bus. Party on a bus will be a great idea and you can find more about that here www.cph-partycruise.dk.
