Brit of a snub for Robbie - The Sun

ROBBIE WILLIAMS has been snubbed by MORRISSEY — after he pulled out of a duet the pair planned to sing at the Brit Awards.

Robbie will now stage a solo act for the event’s 25th Anniversary at London’s Earls Court next Wednesday.

The 'Bizarre' page of The Sun today carries a surely untrue story that Morrissey was due to perform a duet with former Take That singer Robbie Williams at the Brits!!!! Moz supposedly agreed to it and then pulled out as "didn't feel it was the right thing to do and sent his apologies to Robbie". Personally don't know whether to laugh or cry... surely this is tabloid nonsense!

Thought you might be interested in this article from the latest edition of access all areas - a UK trade mag for the corporate events industry.

It focuses on a unique mono sound system used for the Earls Court gig, but mentions security issues as well.

Did anyone sitting/standing towards the back think the sound was better than usual for a gig of this size? (I was embroiled down the front.) I wonder if Moz sanctioned the set-up, or indeed even knew about it?
