Three years since Robbie was in Las Vegas

Gosh I can't believe that. :o

 

Lockdown really did put time in a deep freeze for two years didn't it.

I know , I cannot account for those two years nor can many people really :huh:

 

Hopefully with the biopic being filmed in Australia & the gigs in Europe Rob will get his working trousers back on again . Maybe when he is Germany he will make some moves on the art exhib etc . It's not good stuff being just put on the long finger . -_-

Robbie Williams believes drugs let real demons into your life

 

Robbie Williams says taking drugs was like using a "Ouija board” as his substance abuse opened him up to "actual demons".

 

The 48-year-old singer has had to go to rehab to overcome addictions to booze, prescription pills and other substances, and he has now been teetotal for the past 20 years, not touching a drop of alcohol. Robbie believes that when people take drugs and talk about beating their demons they it is because those substances really do let dark forces into your world. Speaking on the 'Bought the T-Shirt podcast, he said: "I think drugs are like the equivalent to a Ouija board and you don’t know what you’re opening up. I think when people talk about demons and sorting out their demons, I think they are actually demons.” The former Take That star - who has four kids, Teddy, nine, Charlie, seven, Coco, three, and two-year-old Beau, with his wife Ayda Field - says of all his vices his addiction to painkillers was the worst and caused him the most harm. He shared: “Let me tell you, the worst time I’ve ever had with drugs are painkillers. “Nothing is a day trip or a walk in the park but pain medication is f****** evil. Meanwhile, the people that own the parent for those pain medications are currently loving in 50,000 sq ft houses.”

Robbie – who previously admitted to taking would take 20 Vicodin a night and Adderall and Sativa – only started taking drugs to try and cope with the enormous fame he experienced as a member of Take That.

 

The 'Better Man' hitmaker- who was in the boy band with Gary Barlow, Jason Orange, Howard Donald and Mark Owen - was thrust into the limelight when he was just 18 following their the release of their hit single 'It Only Takes A Minute' in 1992 and as a natural "introvert" he started drinking alcohol and using substances to try and live up to the reputation other people bestowed upon him. He said: "I took drugs to fill in the blanks. "When fame came to me at a very early age, I was 16 when I joined Take That, it magnified all of the negative aspects of who I thought I was. Before that I was quite content but I was vulnerable and incredibly sensitive. I felt like I’d been born with an open wound. Then when I was thrown into this mosh pit of showbusiness it magnified the negative aspects of my own self-doubt. “I took drugs to become the person that the world was telling me I should be. When really I’m an introvert, and it’s OK to be an introvert.

 

“I’m an introvert with extrovert tendencies. I’m an extrovert for a living but I’m an introvert in real life.”

The Podcast above gets interesting at about 38 mins in where Rob talks about his finances . The selling of properties etc recently is now making sense .. he briefly mentions the house in London & Ayda . I love the fact he mentions Ayda being given a budget, I always said Rob was tight with money :lol: . I love the new house they bought, just the right size for their family

 

 

He also talks about the Bodhi tree ( which we know are in the BODIES lyrics ) & also references the song RADIO ...

 

Nice interview overall but he should not take things so seriously , folk on social media write sh** because for the very fact they know it causes upset ....

 

 

He should wear this t-shirt more often :)

Robbie Williams steps out with his wife Ayda and their kids https://mol.im/a/10715745 via @DailyMailCeleb

 

Like I say I love how normal/British they dress their kids.

 

 

Ayda in fairness is not a clothes horse is she , they dress up when going to events etc but after that it's fairly normal which is really nice to see :)

Do I unashamedly want to still be one of the biggest artists in the world? Yeah, I do

I was in competition with the world and with myself,’ says Robbie Williams of his time in Take That. Photograph: Dpa Picture Alliance/Alamy

 

Robbie Williams sums it up well. “I felt very driven in the early days, in competition with the world and with myself.” He remains a big draw, of course, but 30 years in, he’s no longer guaranteed hits and is now more likely to be playlisted on Smooth Radio than BBC Radio 1. But that sense of competitiveness never fully recedes. He tells me the new songs he is writing are sounding like David Bowie and Lou Reed, experimental and avant garde, “But do I unashamedly want to still be one of the biggest artists in the world? Yeah, I do.”

 

And so he, and so many like him, linger in those margins, watchful for other opportunities, biding their time. They judge TV singing competitions and appear on reality shows, and wait for the world to turn slowly on its axis to bring them back into fashion. Eventually, everything comes back into fashion. The midlife pop star’s best virtue, then, is patience, and the conviction that the best might be yet to come. “I’ve had an interesting first half of my life,” Williams notes. “I’d like an interesting second half, too.”

I bet he will make it interesting too but maybe not in the way we are expecting . As he says himself he is always planning ahead . Just does not tell us about it until the last minute B-)
