Robbie Williams rose to fame in the early 1990s as part of British boy band Take That. While struggling with addiction, he left the group in 1995\u00a0and went on to\u00a0build\u00a0what would become a hugely successful\u00a0solo career.<\/p>\n

But despite\u00a0generating\u00a0tens of\u00a0millions\u00a0from live performances,\u00a0Williams\u00a0is\u00a0now\u00a0expanding his brand\u00a0beyond the stage.\u00a0He\u00a0has moved\u00a0into visual art, launched a fashion\u00a0label and is exploring new business ventures.<\/p>\n
