On 17th February Rob appeared on the German music chanel VIVA.
He's also been in Cologne that day for a radio interview (radio WDR1). The following day he went on to Frankfurt and after that to Munich (both for radio interviews as well).

Next stops then will be 25th February Spain and 26th February Belgium.

For those of you who didn't get a ticket for his forthcoming Uk tour in May: Sorry, but all the venues are sold out.
However, Rob will be appearing at some festivals this summer so you might be able to get a ticket for those...

This picture here was taken at the Brit Awards 1998 (surprise, surprise!).

Robbie's performance with Tom Jones was one of the best at the Brit Awards (even though Rob didn't get an award himself) on Monday.
