ROBBIE SWINGS WITH CHIMP
Robbie Williams is taking a leaf out of Michael Jackson's book - by touring
with a
chimpanzee.
The animal features in his European tour which hits the UK on Saturday.
But animal lovers need not worry - it will only be appearing on screen during
one of the
singer's tracks.
The production team took footage of the chimp to accompany the track Me And
My Monkey.
Jackson was famed for his pet Bubbles who accompanied him everywhere.
Williams plays in Edinburgh before heading off to Berlin, Amsterdam and
Copenhagen, among
other venues.
He is calling the tour Weekends of Mass Destruction.
It is said to be his most ambitious series of shows yet.
Some 72 trucks and buses are needed to ferry all the equipment and props
between venues.
On stage Williams will be accompanied by six dancers who will cavort around
two hydraulic
poles.
The singer has had a huge creative input into the show, which a spokesman
described as
"mind-blowing".
