Robbie may have altered or broken the Russian law by sticking his middle finger up at the camera while performing the “Rock DJ” at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow at the World Cup Ceremony on Thursday.
Russia bans the use of a swear word and explicit languages in the arts. Those who break the law are fined between $70 and $1,400 depending if they are individuals, official or an organisation.
According to Independent, the singer got his fans on Twitter talking about his actions and one person tweeted, “Robbie Williams swearing at the camera at the opening ceremony of the World Cup just shows you what a tactless and classless person he is. Absolutely disrespectful and coupled with a nonchalant performance.
He won’t care though. He will still get paid millions for it.”
