Robbie The Biography - Sean Smith

In public and onstage he is Robbie, the ultimate showman, but despite his celebrity profile the real Robert Peter Williams has always been an enigma. Robbie: The Biography goes behind the superstar image to examine a childhood blighted by the desertion of his father, his unconditional love for his mother, and his longed-for breakthrough in Take That. It chronicles his descent into drink and drugs, the ‘Angels’ that saved his life and his subsequent rise to stratospheric success as a solo artist.

Robbie: The Biography also uncovers the truth about the women in his life. Why did loneliness lead to a series of meaningless sexual encounters and why was his relationship with Nicole Appleton so volatile? What really happened with Geri Halliwell, Nicole Kidman, Kylie Minogue and Rachel Hunter?

With a record-breaking fourteen Brit awards, eleven number ones, an £80 million deal with EMI and a UK tour in 2003 that sold out in seven hours, Robbie Williams is at the peak of his career. This timely and unique unauthorised biography will surprise and delight as it reveals the triumphs and disasters of an unlikely lad from Stoke-on-Trent on the rocky path to his unrivalled position as the nation’s number one entertainer.
