😄 In the run-up to the release of my new book, I would like to take you behind the scenes with special stories that go with the photos in the book. It was during Take That's very first promotional visit to the Netherlands. The guys were at the beginning of their breakthrough, and we had planned a photo shoot to get some fresh images for the media. Robbie, still young but already full of bravado, had brought a small hat for his solo portrait. He asked me if it was okay if he put it on. "Of course," I said. "It's just a hat." In fact, I actually found the text on it quite funny. While we were working on the photos, the door suddenly burst open. The manager – Nigel Martin-Smith, the man who had conceived and shaped Take That – stormed onto the set in a rage. His face on thunderstorms. "That hat must come off immediately!" he shouted. Robbie looked at me and said calmly, "He was okay with it." I nodded. "Yes, no problem." But for the manager it was non-negotiable. "Don't use those photos," he snapped at me, in a serious tone. And then, almost like in a movie, Robbie leaned over and whispered with a mischievous twinkle in his eye, "Use them." He took off the hat, visibly impressed by the scene, but the moment was already there. The photos were taken. And as Robbie had asked me, I used them anyway. One of them even appeared life-size on a poster in an English pop magazine. I can imagine how Nigel must have eaten himself. Years later, Robbie shared an extensive story about the same manager on his Instagram. What a tyrant he was. It became painfully clear what kind of influence that man had had on them. Robbie's best decision ever? Stepping out of the band – and eventually becoming bigger than the band itself. This photo is included in my new book Zwart Wit, which is now available for pre-order.

June 14, 2025Robbie confirmed as the official FIFA Music Ambassador Robbie Williams has been confirmed as the Official FIFA Music Ambassador. This global role for FIFA marks a powerful new union between music and football on the world stage. In his first engagement, announced during a video call with FIFA President Gianni Infantino, the global singer-songwriter confirmed that he has written and recorded a new Official FIFA anthem, entitled ‘Desire’. The official track – which was written alongside long-time collaborators Karl Brazil and Owen Parker, with Erik Jan Grob – will debut in full ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup’s opening match, before being used in all FIFA tournaments going forward, including the FIFA World Cup 26™ and beyond. For the first time ever, the new anthem will be played before each FIFA tournament game, as the two teams walk onto the pitch to line up, at all FIFA matches worldwide. Fusing emotional charge with stadium-ready power, the track captures the intensity, pride and unity that defines football at its highest level. As FIFA’s Official Ambassador for Music, Robbie Williams has invited the famed Italian artist, Laura Pausini, to feature on the new song. "Our Official FIFA Ambassador for Music, Robbie Williams, has created what is a fantastic, incredible, emotional and brilliant Official FIFA anthem, and to feature Laura Pausini is wonderful," said FIFA President Gianni Infantino. "Involving two incredible musicians, this great song 'Desire' is the world’s football song and having it as part of the opening ceremony of the opening match will set exactly the right tone at the beginning of the first-ever FIFA Club World Cup. This is going to be truly epic." One of the most decorated and successful music artists in the world, his appointment signals a new era in FIFA’s cultural evolution - harnessing the global influence of music to deepen fan connection and elevate the raw emotion of the game. One of the most decorated music artists in the world, known across the globe for his spectacular showmanship and incredible catalogue of anthemic tracks, Robbie Williams brings a unique creative lens to football’s biggest moments. Discussing his new role, Robbie Williams said: “Music and football bring people together like nothing else - each with their own universal language of connection, spirit and community. When those worlds come together, there’s nothing like it - and I’m beyond honoured to be FIFA’s Ambassador for Music. Football and music have both been part of my life for as long as I can remember, so this means a lot to me on a personal level. “I’ve grown up watching the walk-outs, the anthems, the drama - so writing and recording the official FIFA anthem is a real privilege. I wanted to create something that captures all of it - the passion, the nerves, the pride and the majesty of that feeling just before kick-off. Football and music have always meant the world to me and bringing them together on this kind of stage gives me goosebumps. “I know I’ll get to perform this song at some of my favourite tournaments in the coming years, which fills me with excitement. It’s a real honour that Laura Pausini accepted my invitation to feature on the song – she’s an incredible artist with the perfect voice.” Robbie confirmed as the official FIFA Music Ambassador – Robbie Williams

Robbie Williams Drops Pocket Rocket 2025: A Playful Pop Comeback Full of ConfidenceRobbie Williams returns with “Pocket Rocket” — a bold, cheeky and vibrant single that redefines his classic charm for a new era of pop.ByEcho Langford 13 June 2025 Robbie Williams returns with a bang — or better yet, a blast — on his new single “Pocket Rocket”, delivering one of his most playful pop moments in years. True to his legacy, the British icon fuses cheeky confidence, vibrant energy, and irresistible hooks into a track that oozes charisma from start to finish. “Pocket Rocket” is classic Robbie with a 2025 twist: full of winking innuendos, funky electronic layers, and a fast-paced rhythm designed for carefree listening. The lyrics lean into themes of empowerment and personal flair, wrapped in signature Robbie humor and theatrical flair. Think “Rock DJ” meets electro-pop — with a dash of self-aware swagger. The production rides high on retro grooves and modern polish, balancing nostalgia with forward-thinking sound design. Funk basslines and infectious synths drive the song’s momentum, making it ideal for dance playlists and summer road trips alike. Vocally, Williams delivers with charm and effortless control. He doesn’t try to reinvent pop music — instead, he reminds listeners why he’s still one of its most enduring personalities. After three decades in the spotlight, “Pocket Rocket” proves he’s still got the spark to surprise and entertain. t just under three minutes, the track is a punchy reminder of how pop can be both smart and fun, especially when delivered with Williams’ signature wink. “Pocket Rocket” is out now on all platforms — and it’s exactly the boost 2025 didn’t know it needed.

Robbie Williams – Mr Entertainment Rocks Manchester Robbie Willams Photo: Graham Clark Subtlety is a word that could never be applied to Robbie Williams; as the former Take That star and now highly successful solo singer arrived at the Co-op Live arena in Manchester for the second of two sold-out concerts, there he was strapped to a rocket in the rafters – then, in the next instance, he was there dangling mid-air before landing centre stage. As far as grand entrances go, Williams made this a memorable yet extravagant one. Dropping his customary opening track, Let Me Entertain You, to start off this two-hour feast of entertainment for his latest single, the aptly titled Rocket demonstrated an overpowering confidence in the track – a heavy rock number that on record features Black Sabbath lead guitarist Tony Iommi. Suitably, his new touring band appeared to be wearing their rock credentials throughout the evening, adding a heavier feel to many of the tracks – which mostly worked in their favour. Part of the Robbie Williams live experience is the in-between-song banter that proves, should his career as a pop superstar ever dry up, he has a strong future as a comedian. Never taking himself too seriously, his often-crude northern humour lay somewhere between Manchester and the end of Blackpool’s North Pier. “Have you missed me?” he quizzed before answering himself, “Of course you have.” Requesting that he would like to be known as the King of Entertainment was an accolade that suited him well – ever the showman, he held his audience’s attention throughout. As he chatted with an AI version on screen of his teenage self – then later an 80-year-old image of him – this inspired yet surprising effect was another element that made the night such an appealing one. Robbie Willams Photo: Graham Clark Leading the band to a smaller stage at the rear of the arena as they performed The Road to Mandalay, the path continued to be a golden one as Self Esteem’s Rebecca Taylor made a surprise appearance to perform on Relight My Fire as the Rotherham-born singer equalled with ease the vocal part sung originally on record by Lulu. “Tonight is my love letter to entertainment,” he explained, not that anyone needed reminding – though another emotional letter was sent out to his wife, Ayda, and his family, who seem to have had a calming effect on him. A further tribute to his mum, who has dementia, and dad, now homebound with Parkinson’s disease, showed a different sombre side to Williams: with the bravado dropped, the moment felt as if we were seeing the real Robbie Williams. The personal touch continued as he serenaded a fan, coincidentally from his hometown of Stoke-on-Trent, followed swiftly back on stage with a jazz-infested version of My Way ,as the swinging brass section suited his voice as the sentiments of the track reflected his overall attitude to the night’s proceedings. The festivities concluded with an audience-led version of Angels that was part karaoke, part Robbie. Tonight had been an evening where the crown worn by the King of Entertainment never slipped during a concert that had been a blockbuster from start to finish. Can he still kick it? – Yes, he can. Robbie Williams – Mr Entertainment Rocks Manchester

'Robbie wanted' to perform at his 'smallest venue' Ross Pollard BBC News, Somerset Robbie Williams will perform in Bath - Getty Images People who live in Bath's famous Royal Crescent say they are excited to host Robbie Williams for two live gigs this weekend. A large stage has been erected with the historic row of homes as a backdrop to welcome 30,000 people over Friday and Saturday nights. Crescent resident Michelle Maguire said. "It's got that whole community vibe going on here ... it feels like a bit of a privilege. I've never lived anywhere where this kind of thing has ever happened before." Both nights are sold out and people are being advised to use public transport or the city's park and ride to attend. Royal Crescent residents Michelle, Yve, and Inma are very excited for the concerts outside their front doors Mrs Maguire first saw the Angels singer 30 years ago, when he performed with Take That, with her daughter and both will be together in the crowd this weekend. "She's 39 now, yes she's super excited and she's arriving on Saturday," she said. The gigs have been arranged by the crescent's residents, including Colin Clarkson-Short, along with Bath and North East Somerset Council and promoter Sembla. "It's the result of two and a half years of planning. We knew the name for well over a year and couldn't tell anyone who it was," said Mr Clarkson-Short. "Robbie wanted to do this, it's the smallest venue that he's got and he was just very interested in it and said yes right at the beginning." The singer will stop in Bath before continuing his Brit Pop European tour in Copenhagen. Colin Clarkson-Short from the Royal Crescent Society said years of planning has got to this point Robbie follows The Three Tenors and Michael Buble who have performed in the setting in previous years. Mr Clarkson-Short and the other residents hope to continue to bring the same calibre of performers in the coming years. The stage and speakers have been chosen to avoid the sound disturbing neighbours in nearby streets The weather for the event is still unpredictable with some forecasts suggested it could be unsettled and wet. There is a strict no umbrella policy within the site and people are being urged to bring waterproof clothing instead. Promoter Sembla said the green is well-drained and the prolonged dry weather has helped but the situation will be "constantly monitored". Bath residents ready to let Robbie Williams entertain them
