ROBBIE WILLIAMS plans to start a 'huge' comeback tour with a ten-day residency at the O2 next year.
The exact dates have yet to be finalised, but it is likely the O2 performances won't be until the second half of 2010, so that they back up next year's album release.
"It's going to be huge," a source told the News of the World. "He wants these gigs to help re-establish himself as the King of Pop."
That King of Pop crown is also claimed by Michael Jackson, whose own O2 dates this summer triggered a massive response in terms of ticket sales and publicity.
But insiders say it isn't so much Jacko's position at the the top pop table that Williams covets, but the place in the nation's hearts enjoyed by his old bandmates in Take That, whose Circus tour tour has enjoyed huge sales success.
Williams was rumoured to be re-joining the famous boy-band for the Circus gigs, but as before, it all came to nothing and now Robbie is all set for his first UK tour for four years.
"He doesn't want to be outdone by Take That's Circus tour, so he's planning to put on a super show to win back all the fans he's lost," said the NOTW source.

I'm from France and Robbie is known here, in all the rest of Europe, in south america and lots of other country... don't be jealous because you're less talented than him... :)

Michael does not claim. His record sales prove it. It's time for the media to just give up MJ bashing. It is futile. He is the best. No contest.
