Robbie Williams Snubs The Brits

The Sun reports Robbie Williams is going to be a no-show to the Brit Awards and instead will perform on February 21st at a Rock The Vote charity gig in New York. “Robbie was all on for going to the Brits as he missed it last year and it’s still his favourite music event,” an EMI insider said. “But this gig in the States is vital to impress some big-wigs in the US record industry.” The Big Apple bash is two days before the Grammys, and he hopes the hundreds of record execs and music insiders in town will boost his image in America.
