We would all miss them if the weren't there. When Lucy Spraggan came to sing in Manchester with us, she said it was like "a cult" backstage." Robbie and his wife, Ayda, share four children together: Theodora Rose, 12, Charlton Valentine, nine, Colette Josephine, six, and Beau Benedict, five. The 45-year-old American actress first met Robbie in 2006 when they were set up on a blind date. They got married in a ceremony at their Beverly Hills home in 2010 with friends and family in attendance. It has been a busy few months for the Williams family following the release of Robbie's biopic 'Better Man' in December. February saw Robbie thank fans as he shared the news that his latest album was a UK number 1 album. It was a landmark 15th UK number one album for the singer as a solo artist. The 'Better Man (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)' was the soundtrack of the biopic. The movie included re-recorded and arranged versions of some of Robbie's classic songs, as well as his original song "Forbidden Road". The songs appeared at pivotal moments in the film about Robbie's life with She's the One, Angels and Let Me Entertain You all appearing in the movie. Robbie revealed his favourite part of the show is the band intros. He enjoyed having each member play a piece of member and watching the crowd respond. He told viewers that notable shows on tour so far have been Copenhagen, London, Barcelona, Italy and Manchester's second night. Opening up about his health, he said "well I've been ill with some sort of virus for a couple of weeks, which is making me feel very weak. It's par for the course on tours. Everyone gets something, in the past, though, I would have been paralysed with fear. He added: "Things at home with my parents? VERY precarious right now. It's real-world stuff that deeply affects me and my wife. And if my wife is affected you can bet I am. So the maths are: Virus + ill parents + stadium tour." In the comments of the post, one fan said: "Hope your family will be better we love and support you as always do" a second said "oh Rob, the world needs people like you so freaking much! thank you for everything you do, you're an inspiration to all of us." A third responded: "Thank you for showing us again a little part of yourself. Your thoughts, worries and your very private situation with your parents. I'm sending you lots of positive energy." A further response was " we love you too Robert! We love every inch of your being that you decide to gift us with! We also love every inch of you that you decide to keep away from us! We love you Rob, We will be there until you say enough!"

Robbie Williams drops guitar anthem Spies

Robbie Williams has shared the colossal, guitar-driven anthem Spies. Taken from the former Take That singer's forthcoming album, BRITPOP, the Rock DJ hitmaker worked with trusted collaborators Karl Brazil and Owen Parker on the track. Spies is the second single from the collection, following Rocket, featuring Black Sabbath legend Tony Iommi. BRITPOP is the album Robbie always wanted to make after he quit Take That. The Angels hitmaker named the LP after the era in which he famously feuded with Oasis' Liam and Noel Gallagher. The album's artwork features the red tracksuit Robbie famously wore to Glastonbury Festival in 1995, where he partied hard with and briefly befriended frontman Liam, around the same time he quit boy band Take That. Robbie said of BRITPOP: 'I set out to create the album that I wanted to write and release after I left Take That in 1995. It was the peak of Britpop and a golden age for British Music. I've worked with some of my heroes on this album; it's raw, there are more guitars and it's an album that's even more upbeat and anthemic than usual. There's some 'Brit' in there and there's certainly some 'pop' too - I'm immensely proud of this as a body of work and I'm excited for fans to hear this album. I also can't wait to perform a song or two from it on my upcoming 'Britpop' tour, which I'm opening in the UK, naturally.' Noel Gallagher famously branded Robbie the "fat dancer from Take That" in the Britpop days. Despite trading insults over the years, Robbie has always loved Oasis and regularly admitted he would have preferred to be making that kind of music opposed to Take That. Stream Spies now on all major platforms. BRITPOP is released on October 10. BRITPOP tracklisting: 1. Rocket 2. Spies 3. Pretty Face 4. Bite Your Tongue 5. Cocky 6. All My Life 7. Human 8. Morrissey 9. You 10. It's OK Until The Drugs Stop Working 11. Pocket Rocket

Oasis fans offered tips to avoid travel chaos after gigs at Murrayfield Stadium

Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher will be at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh on the Oasis Live '25 Tour, with fans of acts like Taylor Swift offering advice to concertgoers Fans of Oasis have been offered advice from supporters of acts like Taylor Swift and Robbie Williams ahead of the band's reunion tour. It comes ahead of Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher playing gigs at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh. There's concern about getting home from the venue, which has a capacity of 67,000, in August. It comes following the experiences of Taylor's fans, who grappled with transport difficulties last June when the international singer dazzled crowds over three nights at the venue during her Era's Tour. ‌ Now, as the countdown to the Oasis gigs on August 8, 9 and 12 continues, fans of the band have been issued advice, as reported by the Daily Record. It includes them having been dissuaded from using Haymarket station – advice shared on a Reddit thread entitled: "People of Glasgow that are going to Oasis in Edinburgh, how are we getting home?'' ‌ The user sparked discussion about how people that live outside of Edinburgh are planning to get home. The post read: "As per title, are people chancing being able to get a train home? A coach? A million pound taxi? I'm really not sure of the best plan of action..." One Swiftie from Glasgow suggested: "Tip from when I was at Taylor Swift last year. Everyone will be trying to get a train from Haymarket, and it'll be f***ing mobbed." Advising instead: "Head to Waverly (either via tram or just walk) and get on the train there, it'll be significantly quieter, and you'll likely get a table seat as well, rather than being stuck standing." There's also been advice from someone who attended Robbie Williams' gig in Edinburgh, where he kicked off his BRIT POP world tour at the end of last month. Offering their advice, they said: "We were at Robbie Williams on Saturday and Citylink buses were pretty decent. "Drop you right outside the stadium and pick you up just a little bit further away be prepared for a bit of [a] wait though because it's busy. So the concert finished at 10:30 and we were on the bus by about 11:30." Get Oasis updates straight to your WhatsApp!

I don't think it will be that bad trying to get home via public transport." There was however a word of caution about high demand to book ahead from someone else. They wrote: "Make sure to book the [CityLink] 900 and AIR buses ahead of time, they fill up quickly." Another person suggested similarly, writing in part of their response: "Citylink run all night. Happy Bus run private coach transfers from Buchanan to the event and back." ‌ A different user offered a more unconventional tip for catching a quieter bus: "Head to a club till you're completely knackered then head for a bus (they run 24/7 as previously mentioned). By that time most folk will have f***ed off already." Oasis fans are buzzing with anticipation as the band is set to rock Murrayfield Stadium with three gigs this summer on August 8, 9 and 12. The much-awaited reunion tour marks the first time the Gallagher brothers will share the stage in 16 years, with the opening show set to take place in Cardiff on July 4.

Taylor Swift fans offer top tip to Oasis concert goers to avoid travel chaos at Murrayfield

Oasis concert goers have been issued some advice by Taylor Swift fans on how to avoid the mayhem at Murrayfield when getting home from the gigs this summer Oasis concert goers have been offered some top tips from Taylor Swift fans when it comes to getting home from Murrayfield Stadium where the Gallagher brothers will perform for three nights in August on their Oasis Live 25' reunion tour. Liam and Noel Gallagher are set to take to the stage in Edinburgh on Friday August 8, Saturday August 9 and Tuesday August 12. While fans are excitedly counting down the weeks to the Oasis gigs, some have been left worrying about how they will get home from the stadium which holds a capacity of 67k people and will undoubtedly be full to the max. This is an issue that Taylor Swift fans remember all too well after the famous pop star played three nights at Murrayfield on her iconic Era's Tour last June. ‌ Fans who attended the gigs will recall the carnage that took place in the capital whilst trying to make their way to and from Edinburgh and it seems Oasis fans are now starting to worry about running into the same issue as they have been warned to stay away from Haymarket station. On a Reddit thread, titled ''People of Glasgow that are going to Oasis in Edinburgh, how are we getting home?'' one user opened up a conversation about how people that live outside the capital are planning on getting home from the Oasis gigs in August. ‌ The post read: "As per title, are people chancing being able to get a train home? A coach? A million pound taxi? I'm really not sure of the best plan of action..." One experienced Swiftie from Glasgow was on hand to issue their advice to the Oasis fan. They replied: "Tip from when I was at Taylor Swift last year. Everyone will be trying to get a train from Haymarket, and it'll be f***ing mobbed. ‌ "Head to Waverly (either via tram or just walk) and get on the train there, it'll be significantly quieter, and you'll likely get a table seat as well, rather than being stuck standing." Recent performances at Murrayfield include a show from Robbie Williams who kicked off his BRIT POP world tour in Edinburgh at the end of last month. ‌ One user who attended the Rock DJ star's gig replied to the thread with an alternative solution for getting home which Oasis fans might find handy. They wrote: "We were at Robbie Williams on Saturday and Citylink buses were pretty decent. "Drop you right outside the stadium and pick you up just a little bit further away be prepared for a bit of wait though because it's busy. ‌ "So the concert finished at 10:30 and we were on the bus by about 11:30.

One other user has come up with their own unique way of making sure you make the bus as they penned: "Head to a club till you're completely knackered then head for a bus (they run 24/7 as previously mentioned). By that time most folk will have f***ed off already." Oasis are set to play three shows this summer at Murrayfield Stadium on August 8, 9 and 12.
