Robbie Williams never passed the driver's license test and after leaving the bend he was left in the red - Interesting facts about the famous musician
Robbie Williams' life will always be an interesting topic, and we’ve explored lesser-known details about him
Robert Peter Williams, a 47-year-old known to the world as Robbie Williams, has been an icon of British and world pop culture for decades.
He gained worldwide fame as a member of the group Take That in which he was active from 1990 to 1995, and when he decided to go solo, he had to pay £ 1.5 million to terminate his contract and leave the group.
“I think I made a million or so in Take That, and then it cost me a million and a half to get out of the deal,” he said.
But the move he made was also more than good, as the contract he signed with EMI for £ 80 million is still one of the biggest music contracts ever signed.

Williams has won more Brit Awards than any other artist in history, and he also received the prestigious Brits Icon Award, along with Elton John and David Bowie.
He also has his own set of emojis. ‘RobbieMoji’ contains hundreds of exclusive emojis and Robbie-themed stickers that you can use to convey every mood and expression.
In 2011, Robbie founded his own fashion brand Farrell, specializing in modern style with an essentially old-fashioned cut. The brand was named after his grandfather, Jack Farrell, and is sold exclusively in Primark stores across the UK and Europe.
With friend Jonathan Wilkes, he set up Soccer Aid, a two-year charity event where football is played by teams of celebrities against professional teams. They have raised more than £ 20 million for UNICEF, of which Robbie is the ambassador.
As a teenager, he dropped out of school at age 16 which forced him to find a job to make a living. So he worked in a shop that sold windows.
Can you believe Robbie Williams never passed the driving test?! On one occasion, he stated that he was sorry that he did not pass, but also explained why. "The traffic in London is terrible and taxi is the best thing ever," he said.
After losing his wedding ring during his first year of marriage to his wife Ayda Field, he decided to tattoo the letter ‘A’ on the ring finger.
