Robbie Lands Role In Hometown Holiday Panto
November 24, 2005 - The Mirror reports that Robbie Williams is going back to his home town for Christmas to star in the local panto, ‘Mother Goose’. The singer begged his best pal Jonathan Wilkes, who plays Billy Goose in the show, for a part. “As soon as Robbie knew I was doing panto, he didn’t like the fact that he wasn’t,” Wilkes said. “I was talking about the pantomime at dinner and he said he wanted to be in it, as did Ant and Dec.”
And the only reason why N Sync even sold that many tickets to begin with was because all those little N Sync fans were trying to beat out BSB’s record sales.
Oh well, at least ‘NSYNC still holds the record for best first week sales ever for their album No Strings Attached That record wont be broken any time soon. Anyway, congrats 2 Robbie Williams.
