Robbie Williams addressed the latest Take That Netflix documentary. The 51-year-old spoke about the way he was portrayed as he brought his Long 90s tour to Liverpool’s Olympia tonight (February 6) in front of a sell-out crowd. Unlike Robbie’s usual stadium and arena tours, Robbie performed in front of a crowd of less than 2,000.
He performed his latest album, Britpop, performed in full. The album, which was released in January, recently made Robbie a record-breaker, overtaking The Beatles with the most official UK number one albums ever, according to the Official Charts Company.
Robbie also performed his debut solo album, Life Thru a Lens, from start to finish. His debut album featured huge hits such as ‘Angels’ and Let Me Entertain You, which shot the singer to global stardom.
The ECHO was at the gig this evening when Robbie addressed the Netflix documentary about his former band, Take That. He asked the crowd: “Did anybody see the Take That documentary?”
As the crowd erupted, he said: “Episode two, I’m a right c*** aren’t I? I spent the last two weeks thinking ‘I shouldn’t have said that about Gary’.
“Honestly I’ve been going to bed with it, [thinking] ‘I was so mean, I shouldn’t have said that. I mean yeah I was upset and I was angry, but there was no way I should’ve carried on that long. I’m full of shame, I’m full of disappointment’.
“And then at the rehearsals for Barrowland singing this next song, which is ‘Ego a Go Go’, I thought ‘no boy band member has ever left and gone ‘they’re all c****’.”

He told the crowd: “Only me. Think about it”, before adding: “I went from feeling shamed to f****** ‘good for you little Robbie’.”
Robbie Williams recently went viral this week for sharing a video of Greasby teacher Jemma Williamson.
The 48-year-old featured on the new Take That documentary which dropped on Netflix last week.
In archive footage, Jemma is seen with a group of friends outside HMV in Chester in the early 1990s. The then 14-year-old uses the camera crews to attempt to share her phone number with Robbie Williams.
Robbie posted a clip of the moment on his own social media channels, and attempted to give the number a call, which has since been viewed more than three million times.
