Erasure featured in Robbie Williams’ coronaoke – it’s for a good cause
I never thought I would be writing about Robbie Williams on Side-Line, but the day has come, for a good cause.
A few weeks ago Robbie Williams hosted a live ‘Coronaoke’ session for fun and to raise money for charity while being under self-isolation because he had Corona virus symptoms. During those sessions which lasted a few days Williams also included some Erasure material. Note that Erasure supported him on his last stadium tour and Williams is a known Erasure fan.
In the videos below you can hear Williams’ versions of Erasure’s “A Little Respect”, “Love To Hate You” and some more Erasure snippets. Below are 2 videos capturing the ‘event’.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since youâre here âŠ
⊠we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we havenât put up a paywall â we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Lineâs independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine â and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
