Robbie Williams is 'gutted' that he wasn't chosen to lead Queen

So what do we think?

I reckon Paul Rogers will do a mean job of it, but I think Robbie Williams would have been the 'commercial' choice and could have made this tour the biggest thing going.

It'll be great to see the boys back in action regardless.

Just think that maybe Queen have missed a trick here.

<<<However, Robbie is not happy with the decision, reports Concert.com. "I'd have killed for a chance to sing with those guys backing me," Robbie complained>>>

And there's the Robbie Ego, bright and clear. Queen doesn't want to be a band backing Robbie. They want to be a band with a solid frontman. THIS is why they did not choose Robbie, despite the fact he would have done a super job.

I don't really like Robbie Williams voice that much so i'm glad to know it's gonna be Queen+ Paul Rogers. I can't wait to see them this year. It'll be amazing.

Aw, poor widdle Wobbie Williams. ;^)

He is gutted? . . . shame . .

isn't he always 'gutted' about something, no body loves him, he isn't big in america, people don't take him seriously etc

Maybe we can take him seriously if he stops behaving like a perfert on stage.

perfert? .. what's so bad with his staga acts then, Mir@cle?

Altough I like the music of Robbie very much, I'm glad he isn't in the tour. I think that if he would have been, Robbie fans would want to see him too, and it would't be a Queen tour, but a half Robbie tour!

you mean instead of a half-Paul Rogers tour then?

Robbie said :"I'd have killed for a chance to sing with those guys backing me. How cool would that have been? I sang WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS for a movie soundtrack and the band said I did a good job."

Now- would you ppl like to go to see Robbie Williams being BACKED by Queen...? Who's your fav. artist: Robbie or Queen?
I'd rather go and see Queen AND Paul Rodgers...

Ditto.

ParchedPeas: If Robbie was invited to the tour, it would have been a totally different tour than now with Paul. because Robbie would attract a lot of his fans to come to the concerts, and then it wouldn't be a Queen tour, but a half Robbie tour!
I'd rather see Queen+Paul, then Queen+Robbie!!!
