Robbie Williams faces fury over plan to perform in Qatar for World Cup – after gig at Russia 2018 opening ceremony
ROBBIE Williams has faced fury over plans to perform at the World Cup in anti-gay Qatar.
The singer, 48, will have scored a “huge own goal” if he sings in the repressive host country, one disappointed fan said.

Another said it would be “incomprehensible” for the showman, long perceived to be a supporter of the LGBT community, to play there, the Mirror reported.
It comes after it was announced Williams would be among the big acts playing at the Qatar Live concerts in December.
Homosexuality is illegal in Qatar and gay people face fines or up to seven years in jail. World Cup chiefs had to give assurances that gay fans won’t be persecuted when they arrive next month.
The country has also been condemned for its treatment of women and migrant workers.

TV’s Paul O’Grady, 67, said: “I’m surprised at Robbie. There’ll be a backlash by the LGBTQ community if he does perform.
“No amount of money would get me there.”
Williams, currently on his XXV tour, also performed at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. He is set to play at the Doha Gold Club on December 8.
Phil Dann wrote on a fan page: “How do fans make an official protest?

“I’m sorry but the Qatar World Cup is wrong on many levels and I am disappointed that Robbie feels it is acceptable to so blatantly support it. It is a huge own goal for him.”
Nic Schwarten added: “His opinion seems to be clear, otherwise he wouldn’t appear there. It’s really incomprehensible that he appears there.”
Robbie Williams’ reps have been approached for comment.
Today we revealed England’s World Cup build-up is in a heap of rubble — with the team hotel a construction site just a month before kick-off.
The Sun witnessed migrant builders in overalls toiling in 35C heat to finish a swimming pool for Three Lions stars.
A pool bar and changing room were still being hewn from bare breeze blocks.
Outside the hotel entrance camels watched welders and workmen start turning a dusty site into a car park.
But bosses at the Souq Al Wakra Hotel, where the Football. Association has booked all 101 rooms, insist work will be completed before Gareth Southgate’s team arrives next month.
Meanwhile, a cockroach-ridden £650-a-night hovel is among filthy rip-off flats on offer to England fans at the Qatar World Cup.
We posed as Three Lions followers to view the tiny concrete box described by its owner, Hilal, as “adorable” on rental site Airbnb.

The flat, with its cracked walls, soiled mattress and at least five ’roaches in the kitchen, was next to a noisy building site in Doha.
Another Airbnb host, Riham, was offering digs in the capital with stained walls and a lounge kitchenette for £534 a night.

Testing Stage Manager on a 2018 iPad Pro With the New iPadOS 16.1 Beta
Stage Manager is the biggest feature of iPadOS 16, and prior to today, it was limited to the M1 iPad Pro and the M1 iPad Air, Apple’s newest iPads from 2021. Older iPad Pro models from 2018 and 2020 were not able to use Stage Manager, leading to complaints from iPad owners.
Apple initially said that Stage Manager was only able to offer the ideal experience on the M1 iPads, but in a statement today, the company said that it was able to figure out a way to bring Stage Manager to iPad Pro models using the A12Z and A12X chips. These iPads can use Stage Manager on device, but will not have access to the external display integration with multi-display support.
In fact, Apple has removed external display support from the iPadOS 16.1 beta entirely, and when it is returned later this year, it will continue to be limited to M1 iPad models. So the 2018 and 2020 iPad Pro models can use Stage Manager, but not in its full implementation with an external display.
Stage Manager on device is limited to four apps in use at one time, while with an external display, up to eight apps can be open. In our side-by-side testing, Stage Manager worked well on the 2018 iPad Pro, though it was not as quick as the M1 iPad Pro.
The launch of iPadOS 16 was delayed to give Apple time to work on Stage Manager, because it was buggy and there were complaints about its functionality. Apple has been improving it beta by beta, and it is a much smoother experience than it was a few weeks ago.
