Diana concert -will Robbie be joining Take That
'Concert for Diana' lineup set
New York Daily News Princes William and Harry had just one request for their mother's favorite musician, Sir Elton John, for her anniversary concert this weekend. They asked that he not perform the weepy "Candle in the Wind," the song he revealed at her funeral with new, and especially maudlin, lyrics. After all, this is a concert meant to celebrate Princess Diana's life, not commemorate her death, which occurred 10 years ago. VH1 plans to air all six hours of the show from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.. The five-hour time difference from London accounts for the early hour here. NBC will broadcast highlights of the event at 8 p.m. According to VH1, the day will be divided into three 90-minute segments, with the middle bit a tad fatter. Twenty-minute breaks will fall between segments, but the nonperformance sections will be crammed with lots of taped segments, toasting Diana's life and explaining her personal connections to some of the performers. Here's a current rundown of who's set to appear: First segment A welcome from Princes William and Harry Elton John Nelly James Morrison Lily Allen The Feeling Fergie Duran Duran The English National Ballet Second segment Status Quo Joss Stone Orson Roger Hodgson of Supertramp Tom Jones Will Young Natasha Bedingfield Pharrell Bryan Ferry An Andrew Lloyd Webber performance, featuring Donny Osmond and Andrea Bocelli. Third segment Rod Stewart Kanye West Diddy Take That (plus Special Guest) Elton John |

I doubt it will be Robbie, as Slane says, perhaps Lulu or the princes themselves

The original article now says "Take That (possible reunion with Robbie Williams)"
Or, put another way - "Please Tune In And See If It Happens"

Robbies got a football match in LA tonight so unless he's superman and hot foots it to the UK and start rehearsing in the next few hours this is media rubbish again
TT are perfectly able to do their set without him!

I hope he doesn't but it's more likely than the parachuting into Stirling theory we've been discussing elsewhere lol

It's an interesting thought, but I doubt it!

I hope he doesn't. I prefer Robbie without Take That.

I have officially put Joss Stone on "mime watch" for tommorow..
they showed a very short clip of her rehearsing at wembley on bbcnews, and it sounded very much backing track aided to me, she seemed to stop and the sound carried on. though ill give her the benefit of the doubt, perhaps she was using it as a guide to tune her vocals or something. |
