Confessions Of A Success Addict: Read Robbie's Interview

10 Nov 2009

We told you a few weeks ago about Robbie's in-depth interview in the Telegraph Magazine and now the full feature has been added to the Interview section for your reading pleasure.

Robbie chatted to Chris Heath, the author of his biography, Feel, and 'chat partner' on his MSN webchat in 2002, about love, life and everything in between, including his new album, Reality Killed The Video Star, and his return to the limelight.

It is terrible being a addict

It is terrible being a addict , but lets face it we all have our own addictions , some are juts more dangerous than others, but weather you need crack addiction treatment or shrink therapy it is best to get some help.

An insight into the man...

An insight into the man... Thank you for allowing me to read an article written and published on the other side of the world. I loved Rudebox and your performance on X Factor (watched on YouTube) was fantastic. Anyone giving negative comments haven't seen you perform live!! Their loss, you were fantastic. Missed out on tix to The Metro, but have tickets to The Arias. Hope you tread the red carpet, have a great flight down under. Jx

First, I want to thank this

First, I want to thank this decision to permit us to read this paper: it's great. Now, I'm not very surprised by what it writes because it's just him! I'm not sure there's an ancient robbie williams and a new one. I'm just thinking there's a man who learned what's life with this good and bad things! I like the description about what it's really a center for addict and about the drug's consequences: it's a good teaching for young people. To finished, reading this text, I confort myself what I always thought about robbie Williams: he's an artist with all his contradictions, doubts and bad feelings! It's not easy to be a perfectionnist, a genius ... but with the maturated, you learn to admit it and it becomes very interesting xxxxx

brilliant interview -

brilliant interview - congrats to chris health too. who has again doing so well in describing what goes on in robs live to us fans. wasn't he who has written "feel" as well. so great that he's earned robs trust to be around him and be allowed to write about what's going on in his head and making clear all the stuff that's in the tabloids is just shit. we know the truth! and if stage fright is avoiding a tour that's sad for us...but I rather know there's a happy rob somewhere without touring. so enjoying every minute of whats going on right now..... good luck for the children in need gig tomorrow with the lads - would be so great to be there - would be a dream come true after 15 years for every fan from the outset!

Rob, one could write reams in

Rob, one could write reams in response to Chris Heath's article but I have only this to say .. As an appreciator of you and your music career I hope that it will long continue. I have been a fan for 20 years ( I can still never get my head around the fact that its approaching 20 years .. !! ) You are one of the best recording artists out there. In fact sometimes I think you are afraid to be too good but you are that good !! Thank you for all the years gone past and thank you in advance for whats to come, I have enjoyed you immensely and your work. Its been a life long appreciation for me since I was 14 ! The old cliche I have grown up vicariously with you through your career in the music business ! They sound so cheesy but its true ! I will always support your career for as long as you choose to be in the limelight .. .. its been wicked, you have been wicked, and here's to more wickedness yet to come. I wish you every success, happiness and health for the future and all the good things that will come to you ! Thank you so much and let me be the first to congratulate your 9th Number 1 Studio album ! peacelove xxx

Is undoubtedly one of the

Is undoubtedly one of the best or maybe the best interview he has given to the public, honest and simple I would say are the words that define him. Robbie just want to say that God is wonderful, I always thought, God is a brilliant man!, Do not let them lose, you must give something which to argue his mind and heart, do not let it happen as other stars, which suffer more ! Find to him the ideal and good woman. The time now apparently has come and you know I`m very happy because it will make you happy, you'll have a beautiful family and all the sad and bad that has happened in life, overlooked ... for love ... love can do anything ...

Amazing how easier it is to

Amazing how easier it is to relate to his songs and what he went through. I think for the very first time in his career people will not criticise his lyrics being too self-obsessed or anything. It really makes a lot of sense.
