Robbie Williams to record in Pyramid Studio |
Cairo |
| News |
|
|
Singer ROBBIE WILLIAMS is set to record part of his next album in an ancient Egyptian pyramid.
The Millennium singer will take advantage of the acoustics in the 4,500 year old Great Pyramid of Giza and is preparing to fly out to Cairo early next month (Dec07), according to reports.
A source says, "Robbie has heard the chamber of the Great Pyramid has the best acoustics in the world.
"He's going to go and sing a few notes in there to see if the sound is as impressive as expected." The former Take That star is working on the new album in Los Angeles with producer Mark Ronson and his old songwriting partner, Guy Chambers.

| Mummy's golden boy |
| TODAY sees the start of an event that has been billed "the greatest comeback tour in 3,000 years." |
| News |
|
|
Almost 350,000 tickets have been sold for the most eagerly anticipated exhibition of the year - and organisers confidently expect the number of visitors to Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharoahs to exceed the record-breaking 1.6 million that flocked to London 35 years ago for the famous British Museum display.
Only seven of the 1972 exhibits are among the 130 or so on show at the O2 Bubble and Arena inside the former Millennium Dome.
Around 50 were recovered from Tutankhamun's tomb, discovered by Howard Carter in 1922, while the remainder relate to his predecessors, including a spectacular coffin, almost 7ft long, gilded with red gold and inlaid with obsidian, alabaster and glass, the final resting place of the Boy King's great-grandmother, Tjuya.
Other highlights include an 18in coffinette (similar in design to the death mask, too delicate to be moved from Egypt) that once contained the king's mummified organs; the golden diadem, still around Tutankhamun's head when Carter opened the tomb; plus mannequins, pottery, mirror cases, statuettes, busts, daggers and a shrine.
The craftsmanship is astonishing, and the beautiful artefacts are amazingly well preserved and atmospheric - unlike the fake columns and piped music accompanying the exhibition, which runs until the end of August 2008.
