Robbie Williams offered £1.5million for 30 minute gig

Concerts & Tour

Robbie Williams has reportedly been offered £1.5million to play a half hour festival gig – but those close to him aren’t sure he’ll go for it. According to the Mirror, Robbie has been offered the gig – the equivalent of £50,000 a minute – to headline at a festival in Sandness, Norway – but he’s been taking a break from the spotlight after revealing his Close Encounters Tour in 2006 “nearly killed me”.

A source told the newspaper: “It would be probably the easiest money he’ll make in his life but it’s touch and go whether he’ll say yes. We’ll have to wait and see.”

Robbie, who is worth an estimated £130million and lives in relative obscurity in Los Angeles, recently wrote on his blog: “The more time I’m spending away from public life, the more I like it.”

He is also said to be withholding the release of his next studio album after his record label EMI were bought out by a private equity firm: “I might put the B-sides to the next album out first online. Then put an album out in 2009 which means you won’t be seeing a lot of me on stage.” (source: fametastic.co.uk)

    To The Director Of The Company

    It is my pleasure to write you after consideration, since I can not be able to see you face to face, at first, please I need your help. I am Miss Cynthia Williams, the only Daughter of late Mr & Mrs Daniel Williams, from Cote D’Ivoire. (I am 22years of age.) My father was a liability Cocoa and Gold merchant in Abidjan Cote D’Ivoire before his untimely death. After his business trip to Tunisia, to nagociate on a cocoa and gold business he wanted to invest in Tunisia, a week after he came back from Tunisia, he got an accident with my mother of which my mother died instantly but my father died five days after in a private hospital. On that faithful afternoon, I didn t know that my father was going to leave me after I had earlier lost my mother, but before he gave up the ghost, it was as if he knew he was going to die. He my father, (MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE) he called me to his bed side and told me that he deposited the sum of ($12,500,000.00) Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars in a bank here in Cote D’Ivoire.

    That the money was meant for his cocoa and Gold business he wanted to establish in Tunisia, according to my father he deposited the money in a fixed suspense Coded account using my name as the next of kin, He instructed me to seek for a reliable and trust worthy business partner for my life time investment abroad. Now I have succeeded in locating the deposit documents and the bank where this money is here in Abidjan, Cote D’Ivoire. Due to war in my country Cote D’Ivoire., I am now seeking for your assistance to help me transfer this money out from my country Cote D’Ivoire to your account abroad so that we should invest it in any meaningful and lucrative business in your country because this is my only hope in life. I am willing to offer you 15% of the total fund if only you can help me out of my present predicame.

    I seek your assistance in the follwing ways:

    (1.) To provide a bank account where this money can be transfered into.
    (2.) To make arrangements for me to come over to your country after the successful transfering of this money into your account, to come and further my education.
    (3.) To help invest this money in a profitable business since I am only 22yrs of age and do not know much about business.
    (4) To sponsor me transfer this money into your account,
    (5). I want you to promise me that you are not going to betray me after the money gets into your account.

    The worst part of it is that my uncle is trying to kill me over this money because I refused to hand him over the documents covering this money, He has sold all my father’s landed properties including his cars which rightful belong to me and now he want me to hand over the banking document of my father in my possesion which I refused. Now he said that he will have this money by all means even if it means killing me, so because of this I ran away from home and hide in a hotel,pending when this money will be transfered so that I can leave the country for my safty.

    Please reply

    Thank’s and God bless you.
    Yours sincerely,
    Miss Cynthia V. Williams
