Robbie Williams
Robbie Williams, born Robert Peter Williams on February 13, 1974, in Stoke-on-Trent, England, is a renowned English singer and songwriter. He first gained fame as a member of the pop group Take That from 1990 to 1995. After leaving the band, Williams launched a successful solo career in 1996. His debut album, "Life thru a Lens," released in 1997, included the hit single "Angels," which became a best-seller. His subsequent album, "I've Been Expecting You," featured his first two UK number one singles, "Millennium" and "She's the One."
Williams has achieved remarkable success as a solo artist, with seven UK No. 1 singles and 14 studio albums, all but one reaching No. 1 in the UK. He holds a Guinness World Record for selling 1.6 million tickets in a single day during his 2006 Close Encounters Tour. Williams has been awarded a record 18 Brit Awards, including Best British Male Artist four times, and was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2004 as the Greatest Artist of the 1990s.
In 2010, Williams rejoined Take That for the album "Progress," which became the second-fastest-selling album in UK chart history. Although he left the band again in 2011 to focus on his solo career, he has occasionally performed with them. Williams has sold an estimated 75 to 80 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time.
Williams married actress Ayda Field in 2010, and they have four children. His latest compilation album, "XXV," was released on September 9, 2022. In 2025, he received the PRS for Music Icon Award at The Ivors, recognizing his significant impact on music over four decades. Despite his fame, Williams has expressed that he often hasn't been taken seriously as a songwriter, a sentiment echoed by his collaborators who praise his deep musical knowledge and passion.
