From his days with the British boy-blitz Take That, and his rabble-rousing with Britpop troublemakers Oasis, to worldwide solo acclaim, Robbie Williams' rise to fame has been nothing short of astounding. Here, journalist Virginia Blackburn looks at: his early days as the outspoken member of Take That, from their beginnings in gay clubs to the rivalry that drove them apart; his women, including ill-fated relationships with Geri Halliwell, Nicole Appleton, and Rachel Hunter; the despair that engulfed him during the days of his addiction; and how he really feels about men. A must-read for fans.
