Robbie Williams to switch on Oxford Street Christmas lights
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 29 October 2012
Love-or-hate popstar Robbie Williams is pressing an ‘on’ button wired to Oxford Street’s Marmite-sponsored Christmas lights a week today, coincidentally the same day his new album is out. He’s also going to sing live, as are Leona Lewis and boyband Lawson. But unlike Robbie, Leona and Lawson aren’t allowed to touch the light switch.
The Heart FM-hosted concert/switch-on is ticketed, with free tickets being given out via the London-outpost of the station this week.
This is Robbie’s pretty unimaginative switching-on-the-lights quote: “Oxford Street is a fantastic place to do your Christmas shopping and it’s great to be part of the celebrations. I can’t believe I am turning on the lights! ‘Take The Crown’ is released on the same day – 5 Nov – and I’m looking forward to performing for the amazing crowds on London’s Oxford Street”.
