Macca stood up by Robbie

During the filming of a special edition of seminal television show The Tube, Robbie Williams did a runner just as he was due to perform a grand finale with Sir Paul McCartney.

The star's aides attempted to explain his disappearance, claiming that he was exhausted. McCartney was reportedly unaware of the snub as he invited Travis' Fran Healy to join him for the finale saying, "I'm also going to be joined by a young lad called Robbie."

However, Robbie ever appeared, leaving Macca bemused: "Where's Robbie? I'm told he's left the building but I can't believe it." It appears that Robbie, unhappy with his earlier performance of 'Millenium,' was daunted by the prospect of sharing the stage with the legendary former Beatle.

Robbie missed out on Sir Paul and Fran Healy's version of 'Let's Have a Party' which, according to UK tabloid reports, is to be released as a single in time for Christmas.
