Robbie Williams is hoping to launch a residency show at the hotel he’s building in Dubai.
The Rock DJ hitmaker is currently on the road across Europe with his ‘XXV Tour’, celebrating 25 years of solo hits, as he puts the finishing touches on his next album.
That’s not all he’s working on: “I’m building my own hotel. If it’s a success I will replicate what I’m about to do.
“Residencies don’t exist in Dubai, they should,” he says (via The Sun). “I want to be the man to start that.
“It’s easier for performers to be in one place. You know they can stay in Las Vegas for a long time and have their families there in one place. When you’ve got kids, touring is different.
“It would be great to invent something for people like me where you go from Vegas to Dubai, Dubai to Vegas, Vegas to Dubai.”
Robbie is currently working on two projects; alongside a dance record with his group Lufthaus, he’s also putting the finishing touches to his next solo LP, which he hopes will be another runaway success.
“The album is being produced right now. I am ultra-competitive, I would like it to be my 16th No. 1,” he adds. “Those sorts of things just stave off feelings of lack of self-worth, so there’s no great punch-the-sky moment when it happens, but what does happen is, ‘Thank god I don’t have to hate myself today. Thank god they’ve not deserted me, left me, because without them, who am I?’”
