Interesting facts and trivia about Robbie Williams. By Songfacts®.

Robbie Williams was born Robert Peter Williams in the city of Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, England. His parents owned a bar called the Red Lion and his father became the official licensee at the Port Vale F.C. Social Club. Williams grew up loving football, dancing, and acting. His once played the role of the Artful Dodger in a school production of Oliver!

At 16, Williams became the youngest member of the pop group Take That. His mother encouraged him to try out for the group after seeing an ad in the local newspaper. He performed on hits with the band but constantly argued with Nigel Martin-Smith, the band's manager, about his lack of creative input. These arguments led to the beginning of Williams' long battle with drug and alcohol abuse.

After two successful solo albums in the UK, Robbie Williams finally broke into the North American market in 1999. The Ego Has Landed was a compilation album made up of songs from those first two albums. Fueled by the success of singles "Millennium" and "Angels", The Ego Has Landed was certified gold in the United States in the same year it was released, selling 500,000 copies.
