@whxnwewereyoung Robbie has been heard sound checking Something Beautiful. 16 years and I’ve never heard this song live. I never thought I would either. This is going to be incredible 🩵 Darby (⫩)⚡️ BRITPOP Era 🚀 (@whxnwewereyoung) / X It would be my dream come true if this is on the setlist ❤️❤️❤️

Surely that has to be an opening number, he looks like he was about to bust a gut 😂 , I love it but it's not a song that is easy to sing live so I wonder where ir will come in the setlist, maybe get it out of the way early. Could it be the new LMEY 😉

A 'Purr-fect' Reunion: Robbie Williams, Felix Return For ‘It’s Great To Be A Cat’ CampaignMay 30, 2025 3:22 PMBy Dayeeta Das Nestlé Purina PetCare Europe's ‘It’s Great to Be a Cat’ campaign has returned with the 'purr-fect' combination as Robbie Williams and Felix the cat team up once again. The pet food brand has launched a new TV advert and mini movie starring Williams, who enters the mischievous cat's black-and-white world. He has also recorded a new song, exclusively for the campaign, celebrating feline personality traits we admire, with the aim of inspiring people to experience these traits even more in their own lives. 'My Spirit Animal': Robbie WilliamsRobbie Williams said, “It’s a privilege to be back with Felix and to be the first person invited into his black-and-white world, where we can celebrate how great it is to be a cat. “I love how my cats live their lives exactly how they want, when they want. They’re masters at being mischievous, true to themselves, confident, free-spirited and playful. This definitely rubs off on me – clearly, they’re my spirit animal.” The campaign will also see Felix hitting the road with Robbie Williams as the headline sponsor of his 2025 European Tour, bringing the cat food and music industry together like never before. The tour kicks off on 31 May 2025 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Fabio Pietro Degli Esposti, European marketing group director at Nestle Purina, said, “This year is set to celebrate why it’s great to be a cat like never before. One ultimate reason is enjoying irresistible food every day, but it’s also how our cats’ brilliantly mischievous, free-spirited and confident personality traits can benefit us if we all embrace a bit of cat attitude. “Who better to inspire this than Robbie Williams and Felix; both with these personality traits in abundance. And after Felix previously spent time playing around in Robbie’s world, the new advert shows the pop-star joining our iconic cat on screen – the first-ever human to enter and have a taste of Felix’s animated world.” The Nestlé Purina portfolio includes various pet foods brands, including Felix, Purina ONE, Gourmet, and Pro Plan.

I saw Gary Barlow perform in Glasgow's Armadillo - my verdictStacey Mullen Mon 26 May 2025 at 11:14 pm GMT+1·2-min read Gary Barlow performs at Glasgow's Armadillo in May 2025. Pic by Calum Buchan. (Image: Gary Barlow performs at Glasgow's Armadillo in May 2025. Pic by Calum Buchan.) Verdict: Five stars. Singer Gary Barlow stripped it back to basics from the big production shows his fans are used to for an intimate set in Glasgow’s Armadillo tonight - and the results were simply wonderful. The razzmatazz of the Take That shows was nowhere to be seen as he opted for a set featuring incredible musicians showing off their talent. Opening up with his 1997 solo track Open Road, the 54-year-old quickly switched things back to familiar territory with the Take That smash Greatest Day as confetti fell into the crowd. “It’s always loud in Scotland.” Brad Keller then joined Barlow on stage for a performance of A Million Love Songs with saxophonist Mike Stevens in tow, and it sounded just gorgeous. The Flood - the song which launched Robbie Williams’ brief return to Take That in 2010 - was a moment to remember, with the crowd singing in unison with their arms in the air. What’s great about Barlow’s solo gigs is that he gets to show his true self on stage. You can see glimpses of what he learned in his early career performing in the working men’s clubs from the humour he honed from the comedians to encouragement of audience participation, it makes you feel part of the show - and it’s something that can be easily lost the bigger the crowd, yet Barlow has mastered it. We know he can write songs, his talent is exceptional, but when he sings them on his own, you feel the meaning even more. This was the case during a piano performance of Forever Love, it was just beautiful. Shine delighted the crowd, let’s face it that song just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, it’s a complete mood lifter while Relight my Fire got the party started. The pop masterpiece Back for Good then delivered reminding fans of the beauty of Barlow’s writing, it’s pure genius and a song that’s stood the test of time. Finishing things off, Barlow flattered: “The fact you’ve chosen to spend your evening with us means the world,” before performing Rule the World and Never Forget.

With Radical Honesty, Robbie Williams is making an exhibition of himselfMay 27, 2025 · By Craig McLean The legendary singer-songwriter Robbie Williams has turned his hand to visual art, with a humorous, pop art-inspired body of work that reflects on fame, addiction and social anxiety. But the last thing he wants is to be taken seriously. In the glitzy galleries of Moco Museum London, a shiny new space by the traffic-clogged vortex-cum-roundabout of Marble Arch, the singer-songwriter-provocateur Robbie Williams has splurged his innermost thoughts and outermost scribbles. Radical Honesty is the first major showing of the pop star’s “art” (Robbie would be OK with the quote marks). They’re rendered via iPad drawings, wall scrawls, wonky spelling and wayward punctuation, giant executive toys, greetings-card aphorisms on Athena-size posters, and outsized comfort knitwear (bear with us here). All that and an actual tombstone, placed on astroturf on the floor, for the artist formerly known as the most rewarded musician in the history of the BRIT Awards. The epitaph of Robert Peter Williams, age 51, of Stoke-on-Trent? “I’m dead now please like and subscribe”. The results aren’t always pretty. Robbie Williams would be OK with that, too. “Before party practising conversation topics that wont sound insane,” run the runes on one wriggly Shrigley self-portrait of this sober anti-socialite as he gazes into the bathroom mirror. “‘Smelt anything cool lately?’” “I forgive you for being a Dickhead. You twat,” begins another reflected image of a tatted and vested Robbie. “OK, we still need to work on this.” These convos-with-self are the outward manifestations of the inner turmoil of a father of four with the mother of all neuroses. “Violets are blue, roses are red, lock the pill cabinet or I’ll steal your meds,” this once-and-forever addict writes under a thirsty Hirst-y medicine cabinet. “Just because you’re dyslexic doesnt mean youre not stupid,” he’s felt-penned onto a mixtape. “Give your anxiety a silly name. Mine is called Blanche,” he writes over a black and white doodle of a wild-haired granny. “This is Blanche.” As he revealed in 2023’s wars’n’warts’n’all Netflix documentary series Robbie Williams, this gazillion-selling pop star and hero to a generation (or two) wrestles with “dyspraxia, dyslexia, ADHD, neurodiversity, body dysmorphia, hypervigilance… There’s a new one that I acquired recently: HSP. Highly sensitive person. Post-traumatic stress disorder. And, obviously, I have an addictive personality.” Hence Radical Honesty’s Emotion Sweater, capacious enough even for the head of the world-wobbling talent with a 1999 album called the The Ego Has Landed. It’s an artwork in which he wears his superpowers embroidered on its sleeve and chest: “Anxious”; “Narcissistic”; “Paranoid”; “Resilient”; “Proud”; “Shame”. You get the turmoiled picture. Another piece of clobber is an equally XXXXL hoodie. “Robbie Williams sews his story into Prescribed Identity Hoodie,” explains the accompanying descriptor, “an oversized statement on addiction and self-medication. Typically tucked away in secrecy, these addictions can expose the ingredients to a carefully tailored persona, a means of self-soothing, self-medicating, and, at times, self-preserving, with multiple pockets, each bearing the name of a prescription drug.” Ozempic, Ambien and Xnax, oh my! And so on. Radical Honesty—hanging (out) at Moco until October—is, like last year’s marvellous monkey-biz biopic Better Man, both larky nonsense and poignantly powerful. For the man himself, staring down the barrel of a stadium tour (another one) that takes him all round Europe from this month until deep into autumn, the art’s function is clear. Better out than in. “First of all,” I say to Robbie when we sit down together in a room in Moco’s basement, shortly before doors open on Radical Honesty’s Private View, “tell me about your balls.” “Which ones?” says the taking-the-piss-artist, clear-eyed and gym-fit, perking up immediately. I tell him I mean the giant clacking steel spheres in the gallery upstairs. “Oh, yeah! I’m really happy with them. Because [it means] I’ve got a sculpture,” he says proudly, leaning forward and toying with the iPad that contains many of his (literally) daily drawings. “Is that a sculpture. Is that what it is?” I think we can agree it’s a sculpture. “It’s a hefty thing. It’s heavy. It came out of my brain. And if I do say so myself, I think the idea is quite smart. There’s them and there’s us, isn’t there? And look, we’re just in the middle, at the end of the day. Two sides of the same coin, et cetera, et cetera. But smarter than that.” What is Radical Honesty? Radical Honesty is a series of drawings that I’ve done. When it’s out there, it looks as though I’m saying: “I’m radically honest, and so should you be.” I’m actually taking the piss. The Radical Honesty series of drawings that I’ve done are things that I think in my head that I would never say out loud. So my radical honesty isn’t that radical. Isn’t that radically honest? Did you always have these visual art impulses? This is a late blooming thing. From when I used to live in Notting Hill and I went to the art supply store and just bought shitloads of everything, and thought I was going to do collage, and then I did, and it was shit. But it went up in the Tate! It’s not my fault. It did go up in the Tate, the very first thing that I made, obviously, ’cause I’m Robbie Williams. And Peter Blake owns it. Did you get some cash for that? No, no, no, no, no. I bought something from him, and he gave me the W.C. Fields [cardboard cut-out] from the Sgt. Pepper album cover. So it’s not even a fair swap. Anyway, this has been a process, probably since before 2006. And here I am now trying to be witty. Or at least doing things that make me titter. Finally having them out in the in the world, after all these years of secretly doing “art”, does that speak of confidence, boredom, a mixture of both, something else…? I think it speaks of there being [lots of ideas]. I’ve got 3000 of these ideas, and they just keep coming every day. There’s a proper backlog of them. And I suppose [it speaks of] feeling brave enough to show people, and thinking maybe they should exist in other places, other than on my iPad or in my garage. How serious do you want people to take it? Dude, I’m Robbie Williams. I’ve been in the [music] industry since I was 16. They’re not going to start taking me seriously now. I just want them to buy it! I gave up on wanting to be taken seriously…. last week! [No,] a while ago, let’s put it that way. But you have to understand that a lot of my early education informed my later life, too. I was a pop person in a pop band that just got in the car and turned up. I took that into my solo career, too. I didn’t realise you could make your own album covers, as stupid as that sounds. I didn’t realise you could make your own merchandise. I didn’t realise that you’d want to. So I’m still learning.Robbie Williams You recently said “I hope my stuff is ridiculous”. Presumably you yourself don’t want to be ridiculous, but you don’t mind the art being seen that way? I think I want to…. You know, all of my heroes, I suppose, are comedic more than musical. My dad was and is a comedian. And I would like to generate a titter in somebody’s mind. If I can make them actually verbalise that titter, then that’s a victory. So I suppose this is my version of stand-up comedy. Who are your art heroes or inspirations? All of the traditional pop art people. There’s nobody off the beaten track that I know. I’m not a student of the game, as Roy Keane would mockingly say. There is no art history degree. I don’t know all of their names. I don’t know if I’d recognise a Magritte from a Renoir. I’m not that person. Much like when I left Take That and I was asked about my musical credentials. I don’t know Buffalo Springsteen’s album [sic] [and wink]. I didn’t listen to it! [My attitude was:] “I just like f***ing music, f*** off!” I like images. What do your kids make of your art? They are intrigued by it. They want to make their own. Is your eldest Teddy, going: “Mate, I could do better than that?” Yeah, she is, and she will. And my son [Charlie, 10] is drawing his own and trying to come up with his own jokes too. But his own jokes normally revolve around him coming up to me and going: “Daddy, is it OK if I swear?” And me going: “Yeah, OK.” And then him misspelling “narcissist” over a drawing of me. That sounds like a great piece, we need to get that up in a gallery. It is! I’ve got it somewhere. Is that Radical Honesty 2: Robbie’s Kids Speak? Yeah, it’s how they see me. The Prescribed Identity Hoodie: can you unpack, unpick or, even, unravel that for me? Can you? Yeah, no, I can’t really. I’m actually doing a line of clothing, and it was going to be a hoodie. And I thought: “Wouldn’t it be funny if all the pockets were advertising antidepressants or anxiety medication?” That’s it. That is it. If you want to delve further into that, then please do. But for me, it was just: “Wouldn’t it be funny if…” … if all your drugs were available on your body at the same time? Yeah! Legal drugs these days, of course, kids. Is there a crossover with your merchandise for your imminent tour? Yes! Yes, which we need to do… [Robbie looks questioningly at his management perched nearby] So can we get a move on? Imagery allied with music also still matters to you, it seems… More than ever now. But you have to understand that a lot of my early education informed my later life, too. I was a pop person in a pop band that just got in the car and turned up. I took that into my solo career, too. I didn’t realise you could make your own album covers, as stupid as that sounds. I didn’t realise you could make your own merchandise. I didn’t realise that you’d want to. So I’m still learning. But to be fair, pop bands–especially boy bands–didn’t have that agency. Certainly in the Nineties, they generally weren’t given the power by labels to have a visual input. It was just: crank out the tunes, crank out the gigs – and we’ll cream off the cash. Yeah, but I also think that [musicians] didn’t know they could or should. You just turned up with the tunes, and that’s your bit done. Then everybody else does everything else. Unless you want to. And I want to, now. Radical Honesty, Moco Museum London. Tickets here. Robbie’s tour stars in Edinburgh on 31st May.

Robbie Williams’ style evolution as he kicks off his UK tourStory by Lara Owen As Robbie Williams prepares to take his Britpop Tour across the UK – kicking off in Edinburgh on 31st May – all eyes are once again on the British pop icon. With shows also scheduled in Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Sweden, the tour marks the launch of his upcoming 13th studio album, Britpop. And while fans are gearing up for the music, there’s no ignoring another consistent headliner: his idiosyncratic style. From Britpop boy band beginnings to suave solo statements, here are Robbie Williams’ most memorable style moments over the years… 1995-6 After officially leaving the band Take That in July 1995, amid tensions within the group and growing personal struggles, Williams leant into the relaxed grunge look of the era – sporting oversized knits à la Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain. Robbie Williams backstage in 1995 (Fiona Hanson/PA) That year, aged 21, Williams largely stayed out of the spotlight as he dealt with substance abuse issues and rehab and began plotting his solo career. Though he didn’t release music immediately, he was photographed frequently, often at parties or festivals, contributing to his “rebel” image. Robbie Williams playing football in 1996 (David Cheskin/PA) In August 1996, he released his first solo single – a cover of George Michael’s “Freedom,” which reached number two on the UK Singles Chart. This marked his official re-entry into the music scene, signalling the start of his transformation from boy band member to solo star. 1997-8 In 1997, Williams released his debut solo album, Life Thru a Lens, which featured the breakout hit “Angels”. Robbie Williams on stage in 1997 (Samantha Pearce/PA) Williams in a Union Jack polo on stage in 1997 (Fiona Hanson/PA) To mark this career shift, Williams leaned into the “Britpop” aesthetic – a bit scruffy, a bit mod. It placed him in the same cultural conversation as Oasis and Blur, helping him distance himself from his boyband past. Williams’ style started to mirror Britpop bands like Oasis and Blur (PA Archive) Sporting trainers and suit blazers – there was a dishevelled suaveness to Williams’ image. He combined avant-garde tailoring with a British buzz-cut. Robbie Williams at the Elle Style Awards in 1997 (Lucy Husband/PA) During the late Nineties, Williams was attempting to craft a more authentic, adult image – both in his music and his clothes. 2002 By the early 2000s, Williams had had multiple No.1 UK hits, including She’s ‘The One/It’s Only Us’ (1999), ‘Kids’ with Kylie Minogue (2000) and Sing When You’re Winning (2000). Robbie Williams’ style was quintessential of early 2000s men’s fashion (Kim Myung Jung/PA) In 2002, at the age of 28, Williams signed an £80 million deal with record label EMI – then the biggest recording contract in British music history. Robbie Williams leaving his management company in west London, 2002 (Ian West/PA) His growing collection of tattoos began to become part of Williams’ visual identity – particularly the Celtic cross and lion. These weren’t just fashion statements but declarations of Williams’ independence since attending rehabilitation and becoming a solo artist. Robbie Williams’ lion tattoo is accompanied with the words ‘Born To Be Mild’ (Ian West/PA) 2003 Williams’ fifth studio album, Escapology, sold almost two million copies by the end of 2003 in the United Kingdom. Robbie Williams sported more pared back styles after releasing Escapology (Myung Jung Kim/PA) On 1–3 August 2003, Williams played three consecutive concerts at Knebworth Park to 125,000 people each night, making it the biggest event in UK music history. Robbie Williams performing on stage in New York City, 2003 (Rich Lee/PA) His style reflected his more introspective music. Wearing leather jackets, plain jeans and t-shirts – his fashion was more simple and stripped back. 2005 Eight years after the release of “Angels”, the British public voted it as the “Best Single of the Past Twenty-Five Years” at the 2005 Brit Awards. Robbie Williams at the 2005 Brit Awards (Ian West/PA) Williams’ jacket at the 2005 Brit Awards (Ian West/PA) Williams’ style took on a sleeker edge, evocative of the electronic and experimental sound of his newest album Intensive Care – a departure from his earlier Britpop and swing influences. Robbie Williams performing in Hyde Park, 2005 (Yui Mok/PA) His more monochromatic and minimalist looks reflected a more grown-up and polished phase for Williams. 2010 The turn of the 2010s saw the beginnings of smart casual for Williams’ style. Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow in 2010 (Ian West/PA) During this period, Williams reunited with Take That, marking a major moment in his career. Their 2010 album Progress became one of the fastest-selling albums in UK history, and the Progress Live tour in 2011 was a huge commercial success. Jason Orange, Howard Donald, Robbie Williams, Mark Owen and Gary Barlow of Take That (Ian West/PA) Williams and the group leaned into a more sophisticated aesthetic with shirts, tailored jackets and vintage touches like flat caps and waistcoats. The maturing style mirrored the reunion’s sense of growth and nostalgia. 2016 By the mid-2010s Williams had become more experimental once again with his fashion. In 2016, he had taken on a bold and more theatrical edge. He sported statement tailoring and dizzying patterns that he paired with a sleek short-back-and-sides cut for a more polished image. Robbie Williams became more experimental with his fashion in the mid 2000s (David Jensen/PA) The year 2016 marked the release of his 11th solo studio album, The Heavy Entertainment Show. The album saw Robbie return to his pop roots with big, anthemic tracks and a tongue-in-cheek attitude. His maximalist and eccentric ensembles mirrored the new album’s larger-than-life, campy and confident personality. Williams began wearing more statement colours on stage (David Davies/PA) 2018 By 2018, Williams had stepped up his flamboyance with bolder suits that had become his signature style. Williams and his wife, American actress Ayda Feilding (Ian West/PA) He began serving as a judge on The X Factor UK alongside his wife Ayda Field. He also performed at the FIFA World Cup opening ceremony in Russia, grabbing headlines when he showed his middle finger while singing Rock DJ during the live performance. Robbie Williams at the opening ceremony of the FIFA World Cup in Russia (Adam Davy/PA) His style was reflecting his continued relevance in pop culture – edgy, showstopping and never predictable. 2023 Williams’ avant-garde style hit new levels in the 2020s, as the singer sported more gender-fluid styles alongside the likes of singers Harry Styles and Sam Smith. He leant into a more glam-rock aesthetic with metallic shirts, silk scarves and tight tailoring. Williams leant into a more ‘glam-rock’ aesthetic in the 2020s (Joe Giddens/PA) And 2023 was a reflective and celebratory year for Williams as he released the Netflix documentary series Robbie Williams, which offered a raw, candid look at his career highs and personal struggles. Williams performing at Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, 2023 (Joe Giddens/PA) He also toured extensively in support of XXV, his greatest hits album reimagined with orchestral arrangements, marking 25 years of his solo career. 2024 Williams embraced a bolder and more glamorous look on the red carpet in 2024. At the Paris premiere of his biopic Better Man, he turned heads in a long-haired shearling coat by Dolce & Gabbana, which he recreated for a performance on the Graham Norton Show. Williams wore his signature fur coat on The Graham Norton Show promoting his biopic Better Man (Isabel Infantes/PA) His long-awaited biopic premiered at major film festivals including Telluride and Toronto, before a wider theatrical release in December. And while it had modest box office success, the film was praised by critics and received several award nominations, including a Golden Globe nod for its original song “Forbidden Road”. Robbie Williams and Ayda Field at the European premiere of Better Man in London (Jeff Moore/PA) 2025 Today, Williams is sticking by his signature showstopping suits, exemplifying his flair for flamboyance and theatrics. Williams at the Ivor Novello Awards 2025 (Ben Whitley/PA) His new album, Britpop, is slated for release in autumn 2025 following his UK tour, which will be his first stadium-focused tour since 2018. The lead single, “Rocket,” featuring Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath, signalled a return to the guitar-driven sound reminiscent of the 1990s Britpop scene. He described the album as the project he always wanted to create post-Take That, blending raw energy with anthemic melodies. This year, Williams was honoured with the Music Icon award at the 2025 Ivor Novello Awards, recognising his enduring impact on the music industry.

@seanbwparker · 8h While Liz Hurley is rumoured to be stepping out with Billy Ray Cyrus, I notice Robbie Williams is back with new album BRITPOP. It's a nineties pile-up He was being revisionist and ironic 30 years ago. Now he's meta-revisionist and ironic He does write some bangers though
