Why is Robbie said to be "the equivalent of Madonna and Princess Di rolled into
one"? And what was it that prompted Robbie to say "It's not weird, is it? I want
to come in as Heidi tomorrow."
As witnessed by tour virgin Mark McCrum during last year's European tour;
Somebody Someday reveals more about Robbie's on-tour habits than ever before -
and it's out today in paperback, with a brand spanking new final chapter
entitled 'Swinging Westward'.
Swinging Westward covers Robbie's activities over the past year, from the summer
stadium tour through to the runaway success of Swing When You're Winning. It
also brings us bang up-to-date and into the studios of LA where we find Robbie
recording his new album, Escapology.
The new chapter reveals details of Robbie's new life in the US, from his
Hollywood houses to hanging out California-style, and we get to pop into the
studio to see how Robbie's doing and what he thinks of the new album. And, if
that wasn't enough, Mark McCrum spills the beans on why Robbie chose a curry
over a posh Marco Pierre White meal in Manchester - while helpfully including a
run-down on the truth behind various tabloid stories: 12-foot settees, Robbie's
relationship with Nicole Kidman, and his oft-questioned sexuality, to name but a
few!
However, the main body of Somebody Someday is a brilliant, in-depth account of
life on the road with Robbie during last year's European tour. So if you've ever
wondered what it's like being on tour with Robbie Williams, then wonder no
longer. With the man himself at its centre, Somebody Someday gives you an
insight into the Robbie Williams touring machine never before experienced. Mark
McCrum, (affectionately re-christened "Crummy"), a self-confessed novice to the
music industry before embarking on this journey with more than just a little
trepidation, slowly found his tour-legs as he worked his way into the tour's
'Inner Sanctum'. 'Then, it was hangovers and running jokes (at his expense) all
the way' says Rob. His account of Robbie's on-tour moods, the band's late
nights, the crew's long days, (and even longer nights!), will get you so close
to Robbie's life on the road you'll wish you'd had time to pack a suitcase!
Including fantastic new photos of Robbie, as well as the new Swinging Westward
chapter, the paperback edition of Somebody Someday reveals the many different
sides of the man behind the myth. Learn how Robbie deals with the daily
pressures of regularly performing to over 13,000 screaming fans, and how his
feelings change as the tour winds on. Read what happens when it all goes wrong,
or more importantly, what happens when it all goes right! The ultimate
complement to the film of the contradictory title, (Nobody Someday), Somebody
Someday takes a no-holds-barred approach to documenting Robbie at work, at play
and. Well, you'll just have to buy the book to find out!
