Raw. Honest. Real. Take a closer look at Robbie Williams.

Robbie Williams is one of the world’s greatest entertainers. As he approaches 50, a dad of four with a loving wife and a young family, he’s also somewhere near content. Been there, done that, settled and happy.
But Robbie can’t escape his past — and his past has all been captured on film in thousands of hours of behind-the-scenes footage he has never seen. Until now.
A singer-songwriter from England, Robert Peter Williams was born on 13 February 1974. From 1990 to 1995, he was a member of the pop group Take That, and in 1996, he went solo.
Life Thru a Lens, his debut studio album, was released in 1997 and included his signature song, Angels. In total, Williams has won 18 Brit Awards, including four for Best British Male Artist.

Robbie’s way of exorcising his demons is to go back through every single frame, every up and every down. Platinum albums, sell-out gigs, adoring crowds; drink, drugs, rock bottom, and whatever comes next when you get there and you can’t stop digging. This is a story of unimaginable fame at a tender age — and the price you pay.
