Robbie Williams: My Life Thru A Lens

20221230

20230101 (R2)

Hear Scott Mills in conversation with his old pal Robbie Williams, talking about the 25 years since his debut solo album to the eventful twists and turns of his career that followed right up to the present day.

The pair's friendship goes back to when Scott was a fresh new presenter introducing a new boyband called Take That at a roadshow in the 90s. Their meteoric rise followed, then the eventual break-up and Robbie's phenomenally successful solo career. The smash-hit albums and singles, the personal struggles, the high-profile girlfriends, the record-shattering three nights at Knebworth, marriage, fatherhood, Kylie, Britney, Elton, The X Factor... they talk about it all!

This is the UK's biggest pop star of the last 30 years as you have never heard him before opening up to his old mate. It's an essential listen for Robbie and Take That fans as Scott guides Robbie through his past, delving into a world of nostalgia and classic hits.
