Robbie Williams News24

Released in late 2002 from Robbie Williams’ fifth studio album “Escapology,” the song “Feel” became Williams’ biggest international hit, selling over four million copies worldwide and reaching the top 10 in every European country. The video, featuring Williams and actress Daryl Hannah as on a western ranch, managed to attract attention in the United States, leading radio stations to play the track and allowing the song to become one of Williams’ rare top-charting singles on the Billboard Hot 100.
“Feel” was written by Williams and frequent collaborator Guy Chambers. The track was recorded as a demo, but when Williams started working on the album and tried to re-record the vocals, he disliked them. He included the demo version on “Escapology,” and released it as the first single.

“Feel” is a beautiful song – a mid-tempo ballad about a man’s desire to feel love. The lyrics are well-written, and the song itself is wonderful for those who are getting older and longing for soul mates and lovers. For readers who have heard about Robbie Williams’ success and music should definitely consider this song to be among his best, including “Millennium,” “Rock DJ,” and his signature song, “Angels.” Williams is currently enjoying success in the UK and other countries in Europe with his newest album, “Rudebox,” featuring the title track, “Lovelight,” and his current single “She’s Madonna.”

Robbie Williams is ready to reunite with his old Take That pals, the Daily Star can reveal. The Angels idol is “thrilled” that his former group are enjoying huge success with their album, Beautiful World. And Robbie insists a comeback with the world’s biggest boyband “will happen”. In a sensational move, he said he now can’t wait to perform with Gary Barlow, 36, Jason Orange, 36, Howard Donald, 38, and Mark Owen, 35.

Robbie, 33, has just had a stint in a rehab clinic in Los Angeles, where he was treated for an addiction to prescription drugs. Now he is getting his life back on track by penning a catalogue of new songs. He’s also been working with a series of top producers in America and is said to be “putting his all” into creating a worldwide hit record. Last night his proud mum Jan, who has supported her son through his battle with drink and drugs, opened her heart exclusively to the Star. She confirmed that Robbie wanted to reunite with the band which first shot him to stardom, thanks to hits including Relight My Fire.

Drugs counsellor Jan, 56, said: “He’s thrilled at how Take That have come back. “On the question of him doing something with them, I feel that will happen. It would be something he wanted to do. “I’m thrilled that, out of all the negative stuff that happened in the past, there’s now something great happening. “Take That were excellent when they were all together – and they are excellent now.” And former bandmate Jason, who was Robbie’s best pal before the band split in 1995, said he would be welcomed back.

Jason said: “Maybe it’s my romanticism, but I think if we do future albums it’s inevitable Rob will sing with us.” Jan – the inspiration behind Robbie’s hit Angels – has revealed she flew out to LA to be there when he left the £700-a-night Cottonwood Clinic on March 6. And she told his army of fans not to worry, because he is getting his life back on track. She said: “He’s fine. He’s on a good road to recovery. “He’s enjoying his life and his football, and going out with the lads and having a laugh. It’s great to see. “He’s doing a lot of writing. He spends a lot of time in the studio. He’s in a very good place.” Pals of the singer also say he has been on top form since leaving rehab. He has since been hitting the LA club scene with a vengeance – but insiders insist his partying is no cause for concern. In fact, it is quite the reverse.

One friend said: “He’s very well and on really good form at the moment. “We’re just relieved that he’s so happy and back to his best.”

Mel C has finally confessed she did date Robbie Williams – but she couldn’t “tame the beast”. The former Spice Girl and Robbie were rumoured to have dated in the late-90s and have always refused to speak about it. But Mel has at last admitted they did romance one another but Robbie wasn’t ready to settle down. She told Britain’s Star magazine: “I’ve turned down so many people on this question. It was ten f***ing years ago and I’m still talking about it! It was nothing serious but we went on a couple of dates and it didn’t really work out. It was just a chemistry thing really, sometimes there’s not a major reason. He was busy travelling all over the world and so was I. At the end of the day, you’re never going to get Robbie to settle down are you? You’re never going to tame that beast!” Mel has also said she doesn’t think Robbie will ever fully recover from his addiction problems. The ‘I Want Candy’ singer said: “I felt for him when he went to rehab. Robbie will have to deal with his demons forever, especially with something like addiction. I’m not comparing myself to Robbie in any way, but I hope and pray that I wouldn’t get depressed if my album didn’t do well. I try really hard to get a balance in my life so that my career isn’t the only thing in it.”

Software giant Microsoft has announced that they are collaborating with the RobbieWilliams.com to bring Robbie’s music videos and extra content to the Xbox 360 entertainment system.

Richard Teversham, E&D EMEA marketing director added: “We’re thrilled to be welcoming Robbie Williams to Xbox Live. This is a great opportunity for fans to download music videos and extra content to watch in between enjoying their favorite Xbox 360 games.”

British pop star Robbie Williams may soon be working with rap star 50 Cent. The singer is considering a musical collaboration with the hip-hop artist, but admits he has no clue what the end result will sound like. The singer said, “I think me and 50 Cent might do something.”

“He called. Well, his people called. He’s someone I wouldn’t mind doing something with actually, thinking about it.” “He’s a bit like (Mike) Tyson – softly spoken, but could f**k you up. And I want friends like that. He’s like a teddy bear… with a gat.” “I can’t imagine what we’ll do though.”
