READY TEDDY GO

‘Incredibly proud’ Robbie Williams says daughter Teddy is destined for stardom as he admits she’s miles ahead of him

Ellie Henman , Bizarre Editor

Published: 19:00, 6 Apr 2026

ROBBIE Williams may have scored a record 14 solo No1 albums, but he reckons it’s his daughter who is the real talent in the family.

He has tipped his eldest child Teddy for huge things.

But Rob revealed the key reason why he’s holding her back from launching a career as a singer just yet — he’s scared the 13-year-old be ripped apart by trolls online.

Dad-of-four Robbie told me in an exclusive chat: “There won’t be an album from Ted before my next one. But she’s raring to go.

“She’s very, very talented. She’s got a wonderful voice and writes songs easily.

“She’s miles ahead of me when I was her age. And, you know, she’s a girl. They’re just smarter than boys, aren’t they?

But he wants to wait a few more years before she fully launches a showbiz career.

The singer, pictured below with Teddy and his wife Ayda Field, added: “I’ve always wanted her to come on stage and sing with me for like the last three years at least.

“But then you see other children of famous people get up and then just then pulled apart.

And I’m just thinking, best to wait a bit. I wouldn’t want to kill the confidence before it starts.”

Robbie has been keen to protect the privacy of his kids, and didn’t show their faces for years. owever, Teddy did step into the limelight in November when she appeared at the premiere of the festive film Tinsel Town, in which she made her acting debut.

With Robbie as your dad, you’re always going to have performing in your blood.

But I hope she has a thick skin, because the world can be a brutal place. As long as she’s willing to put the work in, I think people will get behind her.

David and Victoria Beckham‘s youngest son Cruz had a bit of a rocky time when he launched his solo career. But a few months in, he’s proved he’s willing to put in some hard graft and not rely on his parents.

But with her dad as one of the UK’s most successful singers, Teddy’s certainly got a solid foothold in the music biz.

Only last week I was watching Tania interview Yungblud & thinking how I would love to see her interview Robbie ..

11 Apr 2026 LONDON

Robbie Williams rose to fame in the early 1990s as part of British boy band Take That. While struggling with addiction, he left the group in 1995 and went on to build what would become a hugely successful solo career. Today, he has more U.K. No. 1 albums than The Beatles and continues to sell out stadiums around the world. But despite generating tens of millions from live performances, Williams is now expanding his brand beyond the stage. He has moved into visual art, launched a fashion label and is exploring new business ventures. In this edition of "CNBC Meets," Williams tells host Tania Bryer how he overcame anxiety, how he is using AI and why, after three decades of success, he is still pushing for more.

The interview with Tania was just ok for me , given that I am a big fan of hers I was left kinda disappointed with the questions.

My favourite interview that he did in a long time was the one he did in Greece last year where the interviewer asked him some really interesting questions

Robbie Williams: Shortly before his appearance in Athens, he speaks to Vogue Greece

With a scheduled concert in October at Kallimarmaro, superstar Robbie Williams talks exclusively to Christina Politi about music, mental trauma, creativity, fatherhood and his dreams for the future.

CHRISTINA POLITI

September 17, 2025

Robbie Williams comes to Greece in October and on a "stage" that he never really left – in the hearts of his fans. Explosive on Instagram as well as vulnerable on the big screen, as we saw him in the autobiographical film Better Man, written, produced and directed by Michael Gracey, the British icon continues to transform, balancing between pop legend, fashion rebel and introspective artist. Who, having expanded his creativity as a result of an arduous but spectacular personal development, now also excels in painting – he is currently presenting his works in London in an exhibition entitled Radical Honesty. I was impressed, I admit, by his bravery in exposing himself on the big screen with such raw honesty, distinguishing pop star Robert from his true self, Robbie. Two personalities that are revealed in relief in front of me as his gaze turns upwards when his answer is deep and meaningful or right-left in the moments when he embellishes it with bone-crushing humor.

Robbie, you're coming to Greece for a performance at a historic stadium, Kallimarmaro, and we can't wait to see you. What really brings you back to our country?

The answer is warmth. In the climate, but also - most importantly - the warmth in the heart. What you can tell from people's response when you're on stage. There are many special places that I visit that have a special place in my heart, and Greece is definitely one of them. I love her.

I have seen you live several times, with highlights being your performances at the Royal Albert Hall and the legendary Knebworth. You have a unique energy on stage. Do you think live music has changed today?

I don't know if the music has changed or if I'm just an older man who looks at young artists a little indifferently. Like when I was young myself and the older artists also looked at me indifferently. So, I think it might be an age problem. I know that my daughter listens to new music, loves it, is inspired and wants to be in it. Just as my own relationship with music was possible when I was her age. So, I think the music in general is good. Age makes the difference.

But you are not old, you just started your career very young.

I don't feel old, but I don't feel young either. And speaking of pop music, which is essentially a game of young people, I would say that I am a retired pop player! (laughs) But, in terms of my soul or where I think I am in the world, I'll tell you that I still have a very, very, very long road that I plan to go slowly.

You've written lyrics for hymns like Angels. After all, do you have to suffer to be creative?

Life in general does not stop being traumatic in one way or another, whether you are single or married and a father. And if you have a complex psychology, like me and many people on the planet, I don't think you can stop drawing from this trauma and madness. Indeed, many of my greatest successes have stemmed from utter despair. I'm not saying that I'm constantly in despair, but I observe things and wonder why I often feel uncomfortable.

In the movie Better Man you narrate your life with incredible immediacy. Was it difficult to relive these moments?

No, not at all. This is also part of the magic of being myself. And I don't mean the magic of being the star Robbie Williams, but the man. I have no problem showing my true self and my demons, what's going on in my mind, so no, it wasn't difficult. I think it would be if I thought the response would be negative, but I didn't feel like that.

You have given joy to millions of people, for years now. And you carry heavy experiences with a lot of humor. But, no one is perfect. Why do you feel you have to apologize?

It's polite to say it. But childhood trauma makes you a deaf ear to positive comments. You don't hear them even if it's thousands of people at concerts and millions on the internet saying good things about you. No matter how many thousands of people applauded me, the voice of pain inside me was always louder.

Now you express your creativity through painting. What does it mean to you?

I'm currently doing an exhibition at the Moco Museum in London. Inamed it Radical Honesty. My art is full of humor and references to mental health. People see parts of themselves in what I create – and that's the greatest gift. I feel good and once again people respond politely to what I draw and what I say.

Is there a moment in the past that you would like to relive?

No, definitely not. I started enjoying life and my good fortune when I was 44 years old and now I look forward to the future, because I am becoming happier and more meaningful. There's nothing in my 20s, no concert, no party, no cocaine line, no drink, no celebrity I dated, no girl I had sex with, no country I visited, that I want to experience again, because what I was feeling was hellish. I don't want anything from my past. Only, perhaps, to take advantage of it for commercial reasons!

Do you believe in spirituality, energy fields, angels? Do they play a role in your life or in your art?

I don't know if they shape my daily life, but I do have some ideas about the true nature of reality, which can be crazy, but definitely fun. And I really like the fairy tales I tell myself about who and what is around us. I think about what happens when we die and move on to the other side, if the people I loved and left are in the room with me when I think about them and talk to them. I wonder, why are we here? What's the point? I am fascinated by the possibility of an ethereal realm. It's exciting and fills me with awe.

Your style has always stood out – a blend of elegance and revolution. Was it innate or did you develop it over the years?

In the place where I grew up, kindness and violence prevailed at the same time. Standing out could be dangerous. Nevertheless, I couldn't help but express myself through fashion. It was inside me. I wanted to wear things that others wouldn't wear, to express myself in a way that could be dangerous, but I risked it. I once asked my wife if she thinks my sense of fashion has improved since I married her. Because I really think that Aida has helped me evolve stylistically over the years.

You have also said that Aida is the joy of life.

It is. I wrote to her the other day: "I don't want what I had. I just want more than what we have."

How did fatherhood change you?

It helped me understand that I am no longer the focus. And I have a mission, to support my family. Before it wasn't like that, I had a lot of time for existential crises. I don't have one anymore.

Does anyone need an amplified "ego" to survive in your world?

I think it's impossible to do this job without having it. Especially in a world that subjects us to a specific idea of what we need to have to be successful. It is impossible not to develop a hypertrophied "ego" to face the competition. As far as I'm concerned, however, my "ego" doesn't make a fuss, I have a healthy dose of self-hatred to balance it out.

In Better Man, after you've turned your house into disrepair, we saw you using a strange slimming device. Did it really exist?

(Laughter) Yes, it was called Vacu and I don't know if it's on the market anymore, but at the time I paid 15,000 pounds for it! You wore the uniform and walked for 45 minutes sweating non-stop. It was like a vacuum cleaner. A lazy way to lose weight. I don't know if it really helped me, but I was probably in good shape at the time anyway.

Are you still struggling with the weight?

Now I do all the injectables there are! Write it down, I don't care. I eat normally, but I don't gain weight. I don't know how it works nor am I interested. I just pray I don't find it along the way, because this is a game changer in my opinion.

Who do you admire today?

The comic actors. They take the melancholy of reality and show us ourselves as we are. They are my heroes. I consider them philosophers of our time. They hold the mirror in front of humanity and laugh at what they see.

How do you imagine yourself in ten years?

I hope to continue on this upward trajectory. Knock on wood! I feel enormous gratitude for the now. I would like to stay in love with my wife, become an even better father and create great works, which I have not even imagined yet. To be proud of things I never thought I would do and finally succeeded.

And, of course, to remain thin!

Thank you for everything, Robbie. This interview was very high on my bucket list

An exciting new episode by Robbie Williams Rewind /

Thanks once again to Lucy & Matt for putting these together

Robbie Williams Rewind

The wait is over — we’re diving into Robbie’s BRITPOP album with Part 1 of our track-by-track review. Joined by James from Scotland and Edite from Latvia, we break down the opening 6 songs of the album: Rocket, Spies, Pretty Face, Bite Your Tongue, Cocky and All My Life.  From the promo campaign to release date drama, artwork to sales stats, we dig into what BRITPOP says about Robbie right now. We discuss what the songs mean to us and analyse each of the music videos.  James shares how Robbie went from being the soundtrack to childhood car journeys to becoming a genuine passion, sparked by a deep dive ahead of the Isle of Wight Festival. Fast forward, and he’s now seen Robbie three times in the past year, bringing a fresh but fully invested fan perspective to the review. Edite takes us on her journey from teenage fandom in Latvia to experiencing Robbie live for the first time on the BRITPOP tour. The show didn’t just meet expectations, it completely reignited her love for music. She’s since been back twice more… and even found herself singing part of Come Undone into Robbie’s mic at her second gig.

Head on over to Robbie Williams Rewind for Part 2 of BRITPOP track by track discussion

Source https://www.youtube.com/@rewindrobbie

In part 2 of our BRITPOP track-by-track deep dive, we welcome our first South American guests to Robbie Williams Rewind: Lorena from Argentina and Carolina from Chile (now living in Turkey). Together, we unpack the final five tracks from the standard edition: Human, Morrissey, You, It’s OK Until The Drugs Stop Working, and Pocket Rocket – sharing reactions, standout moments, and favourite lyrics from each.

Lorena reflects on seeing Robbie live for the first time in 2006 and the 20-year wait that’s followed, including the heartbreak of his 2018 Argentina show being cancelled due to extreme weather. At the time of recording, she spoke for fans across the country in hoping the BRITPOP tour would finally bring him back… and now it has. Even better, she’s got her tickets.

Carolina takes us right into the heart of the chaos at the Mucho Lucho TV recording in 2004, recalling the moment Robbie Williams walked off set. She also shares her full-circle journey as a fan, from seeing him live in Chile in 2006, through a 17-year wait to finally catch a XXV Tour show in Turkey, and on to the BRITPOP and Long 90s tours. Along the way, she reflects on the contrast between LATAM and European crowds, and what makes each experience so unforgettable.

Back in the country after 20 years, Robbie Williams wants to 'really live Brazil' for the first time

In an interview with g1, the 52-year-old singer recalls coming to the country in 2006, analyzes the dopamine era and explains the joke on the new album, 'Britpop'.

By Guilherme Lucio da Rocha, g1

Robbie Williams will return to Brazil for a unique show in São Paulo on October 13, at Allianz Parque. And the singer will live the experience of being in the country "as if it were the first time".

That's because the popstar came to Brazil for the first time two decades 20 years. More precisely for a concert at Praça da Apoteose, in Rio de Janeiro, on October 18, 2006.

In an interview with g1, when remembering his view, he describes a passage without any remarkable moment.

"I didn't experience anything other than the hotel and a plane trip," he summarizes.

At that time, Robbie Williams was coming to Brazil with the "Close Encounters" tour, which mixed his main hits with some singles from his most recent work, "Intensive Care".

One of the great stars of the music world, Williams was living in dark times in 2006. Psychological problems and a toxic relationship with alcohol and drugs were central themes in his life off stage.

"It was a very strange time for me. I was the main character in a movie that everyone was watching. The main character, in this case, had mental health problems, fear, very high anxiety, and addiction problems," he explains.

"Trying to understand what was happening to my life at that particular time was terrifying. It's fun. And also a little traumatic."

In fact, most of these problems are present in the great biopic "Better Man" (2024), where the main character (yes, Robbie Williams) is played by a monkey.

Source https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0IWxgMjsmw

Now, at the age of 52, living a "family man" phase where music occupies a formal workspace, but with greater freedom, the singer returns to Brazil wanting to live the experience of getting to know our people better.

A parochial artist, with a tattoo in honor of Stoke-On-Trent, a small town of about 250,000 inhabitants in the West of England, he says that being successful on another continent is "like being successful on Mars".

And, when answering about what he is most curious about experiencing in Brazil, he escapes the clichés caipirinha, samba and soccer (a sport he is a fan of) with a somewhat cliché phrase.

"Brazil is a mystical country for the rest of the planet, there is a special feeling for Brazilians, for its people, which is not common. You got a lot right in branding," he says.

"I want to experience people, what it feels like to be Brazilian, the feeling of enjoying Brazilians in general. I'm looking forward to it."

Robbie Williams, the troll

Robbie Williams, the troll

On January 16, 2026, taking the world by surprise, Robbie Williams released "Britpop". The name draws attention for its reference to the historical musical movement among the British in the 1990s, especially the bands Oasis and Blur.

But really, Robbie Williams was just trolling a bunch of people with the name.

"I chose this name because I'm British and because I make pop music," he told g1, frowning and being silent for about 10 seconds before continuing with the answer.

"I also wanted to make a joke, because I wasn't part of the Britpop movement back in the 1990s. And at that time, no one wanted to be involved with this movement. So, I took the opportunity to make fun of people who believe that I can't be associated with something like Britpop today."

The singer has a point. Back in the 1990s, he and his group, "Take That", were more like an electronic pop boyband.

In "Britpop", Robbie Williams threw himself into the rock of his "colleagues", the Gallagher brothers, who last year joined hands and toured the world with Oasis.

The album earned the singer a great record: he became the first artist to score 16 albums at the top of the UK charts. The previous record was held by the Beatles.

And what does he feel when he hears that he has surpassed the Beatles?

"I feel a lot of things. One of them is shame. They're the Beatles and I'm Robbie from Stoke-on-Trent. But also, I can breathe a sigh of relief because nothing bad happened on the way. There are 16 number one albums. What happens if you come in second? I don't want to find out."

Williams says the new work gave him a musical opportunity to work with references he wished he had used back in the 1990s — but he couldn't take advantage of any of them with Take That.

"I was in a boyband when I was 16 years old. Around me, the crowd was making music with guitar, the opposite of what happened to me. If I borrow something from that time, it's just the memory of what I liked musically."

Speaking of the 1990s, the singer often repeats in interviews that that time was the last great period of cultural innovation, including in music.

When talking about his view of the past decade, he begins the answer by mentioning the lack of attention of people today.

"In the 90s, there was time to breathe. Something happened, we accepted it and then we lived with it. And nowadays, something happens and, a second later, something else happens. Now everything is based on dopamine from one second to the next. I don't know if that was your question, but that's my answer."

The question was about that, but the answer has a "hidden" point. And that he decides not to address in the interview.

Robbie and his wife, Ayda Field, are campaigners for UK government restrictions on children's use of social media.

The "raise the age" campaign asks local authorities to cover platforms for a new age limit for access to networks - going to 16 years old. The couple has four children between the ages of 12 and six and, obviously, is directly affected by one of the main technological problems of the 21st century.

Robbie Williams signs with iconic 90s band's management team and teases 'new chapter'

Robbie Williams has signed a new deal with Radiohead's management team.

The Angels hitmaker - who split from his manager of 14 years, Michael Loney, earlier this year - cannot wait to get started on a "new chapter" in his music career after putting pen to paper on a contract with ATC Management, whose clients include Nick Cave and PJ Harvey.

Robbie - who dropped album Britpop in January - told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "I’m thrilled about this next chapter and can’t wait to develop the amazing ideas we’re already working on." dance

Amid his new management deal, Robbie is said to be "sitting on tons of new music".

A source added to the publication: "Robbie is ready and raring to go.

"He wants to start a fresh new era, and his new management team is perfectly placed to shape his new direction.

"Everything has been going brilliantly over the past few years, and Robbie is sitting on tons of new music, but he knows more than anyone that change is good."

ATC Management said: "It is a privilege to be working with one of the UK’s most enduring and iconic musical talents.

"Robbie has a huge year ahead, playing a series of major European festivals before headlining arenas and stadiums across South America, Australia and New Zealand.

"He is a true global star and we look forward to supporting the next exciting phase of his career."

Earlier this year, Robbie admitted he lives in fear that his career could end at "any moment".

Speaking in February, he said on Virgin Radio: "I have autocue at the gigs and it is like having a safety wire, I know it but I have had moments on live TV where I have completely forgotten the words and completely forgotten the melody and that's when you realise that the colour of adrenaline is brown!

"This is a type of rope walk act.... We could fall.

"I could cause an international incident at any moment. I could end my career at any moment! And that is the anxiety that I am walking with and talking with at all times."

Robbie Williams has restructured his live touring team, signing to ATC Management and WME for worldwide representation.

The news arrives just ahead of the British star’s global Britpop dates, with a series of European headline/festival shows, South American arena/stadium shows, and Australia/New Zealand stadium dates.

“It is a privilege to be working with one of the UK’s most enduring and iconic musical talents,” says ATC Management. “Robbie has a huge year ahead, playing a series of major European festivals before headlining arenas and stadiums across South America, Australia and New Zealand. He is a true global star, and we look forward to supporting the next exciting phase of his career.”

WME’s Keith Sarkisian, Phil Raskind, Josh Javor, Rob Markus, and Dave Tamaroff will make up his new agent team.

X-ray Touring’s Ian Huffam, Williams’ longtime global agent, told IQ the change will go into effect from December 2026.

“After 28 wonderful years representing Robbie, I have taken the decision to step down. It’s been a wild ride from student union shows in the late ’90s to multiple stadium shows across all continents. Millions of tickets sold.

“I pass the baton on to a new team”

“Following recent RW team changes, it felt like the right moment to reflect, and I pass the baton on to a new team. I depart on good terms and wish Robbie the very best of luck in the future.”

In March, Williams parted ways with his management team, led by manager Michael Loney, after 14 years. Loney is part of the ie:music team, the company that Williams’ late manager David Enthoven co-founded in 1992.

ATC Management is part of the London-headquartered ATC Music Group, with Williams joining clients like Nick Cave, Radiohead, PJ Harvey, The Smile, Sleaford Mods, Johnny Marr, and The Hives.

WME represents artists including Andrea Bocelli, Bruno Mars, Coldplay, Foo Fighters, J Balvin, Olivia Rodrigo, and Rihanna, and has offices in the US, the UK, Australia, and China.

The former Take That member is one of the most successful music artists in the world, with 90 million album sales worldwide, along with a record-breaking 16 No. 1 albums in the UK. A highly decorated artist, he has a record 18 BRIT Awards, eight German ECHO Awards, three MTV European Music Awards, and two Grammy Award nominations.

Last year, he won the PRS for Music Icon Award at The Ivors, his fifth Ivor Novello Award.

ATC Music Group Plc

("ATC", the "Company" or the "Group")

 

Commercial Update

ATC Music Group Plc (AIM: ATC), the independent music company providing an end-to-end music services platform spanning talent management, live touring, merchandising, e-commerce and digital engagement, is pleased to provide an update on recent commercial highlights across the Group.

 

The Group continues to see encouraging progress across representation, technology-enabled services and live experiences, reflecting the strength of its diversified model and the continued development of its integrated platform.

Representation

 

ATC's artist management roster continues to develop positively, supported by both new client additions and progress across established and emerging talent. Highlights include:

Recent addition of Robbie Williams to the Group's management roster reflecting ATC's continued ability to attract and support globally recognised artists. Robbie is one of the most successful music artists in the world with 90 million album sales worldwide, six of the top 100 best-selling albums in British history and a record-breaking 16 UK number 1 albums.

One of ATC's US managed artists, underscores, has recently secured the main support slot on Charli XCX's US tour, with recent sold-out solo headline shows in the US pointing to a breakout for the artist.

Radiohead, an ATC management and merchandise client, launched its KID A MNESIA exhibition at Coachella and is continuing its international run with a New York residency followed by dates in Chicago, San Francisco and Mexico City. It was developed in partnership with AEG and namethemachine, also an ATC management client, and this touring project reflects the breadth of artist-led creative projects and collaboration opportunities being developed by the Group.

Services / Technology

Following its acquisition in March, Push is integrating rapidly into the Group, with early results already visible in both client delivery and internal operations. Providing digital marketing, data analytics, fan engagement and e-commerce solutions to the music industry, Push is enhancing direct-to-fan data capture for clients while also supporting improved operating efficiencies across the wider Group. The deployment of the Group's Cirkay Fan Pass at several recent Robbie Williams' live shows has delivered substantial direct fan engagement.

 

Integrations of this kind reflect ATC's broader strategy of combining specialist services with technology-enabled capabilities to deepen client relationships, strengthen the Group's data assets and support direct-to-fan engagement at scale.

Events

 

The Group is also seeing encouraging momentum across live experiences and production. The recent announcement of the London premiere of Hamlet Hail to the Thief at the Barbican follows its acclaimed sold-out world premiere at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon last year. The London launch has generated substantial press coverage and highlights ATC's role as one of the key producers and backers of the show, with work now underway on the continued rollout into other locations around the world.

 

In parallel, Joy Entertainment Group has delivered a strong performance across its summer events programme, including a 50,000-capacity sold-out show for management and live agency client Nick Cave in Brighton.

 

In addition, LiveX has developed and promoted a week of shows at New York's Radio City Music Hall featuring Joe Hisaishi-Music from the Studio Ghibli Films.

Adam Driscoll, Chief Executive Officer of ATC, commented:

 

"These developments, alongside many others, reflect both the breadth of ATC's platform and the strength of the relationships we continue to build across our artist and client base. We are proud to work with some of the most successful, exciting and influential talent in the industry, and the continued development of our roster underlines the appeal of our integrated model.

 

"As we grow the number of artist and client relationships across the business, we increase both the scale of the platform and the value of the data it generates. As the industry continues to shift towards direct-to-fan economics, our integrated platform is helping clients strengthen audience engagement, diversify their income streams and unlock greater long-term value."

This is super exciting Huge thanks to Lucy & Matt, Links below

We’re VERY excited to welcome back two extra special guests to the podcast, musicians, writers and producers who have been absolutely instrumental in the making of BRITPOP: Karl Brazil and Owen Parker. Not only have Karl and Owen co-written nearly every track on the album with ‪@robbiewilliamsvideos‬, they also co-produced it alongside Martin Terefe, played on the recordings, and brought it to life on stage as part of Robbie’s live band. If you’re looking for the true inside track on his first non-Christmas album in nearly a decade, this is the interview. Karl and Owen take us deep into the creative process – how the songs came together, memories from the studio, and what these tracks really mean to them. They reveal the full story behind writing Cocky and 100% Beau with Gaz Coombes, and what it was like when Chris Martin wanted to play on Human. This is one of those rare conversations where you’re not just hearing about the album – you’re hearing it from the people who built it, note by note. Packed with behind-the-scenes stories, unexpected moments, and genuine insight into Robbie’s creative world, this is an episode for fans who want to go deeper. If you’ve been following our BRITPOP journey, this is the one that brings it all together – and trust us, you won’t want to miss it.
