Robbie Williams, one of the most successful British pop stars, has enjoyed a career spanning over three decades.

First rising to fame as a member of the boy band Take That, he later embarked on a solo journey that solidified his status as a global icon.

Known for his charismatic performances, hit singles like ‘Angels,’ and a bold personality, Williams has sold millions of records worldwide.

His career is marked by reinvention, blending pop with elements of swing and rock, while his personal battles with addiction and mental health have added depth to his already compelling story. So much so, that he has a movie about him coming soon (featuring a monkey).

1. How old is Robbie Williams?

   Robbie Williams was born on February 13, 1974, which makes him 50 years old as of 2024.

   He was born in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England. His parents are Janet Farrell and Peter Williams, who were involved in show business, with his father being an entertainer known as Pete Conway.

   Robbie has one sibling, an older half-sister named Sally. His family background, particularly his father’s influence, played a role in shaping his early interest in performing arts and music.

2. How did he get his start in music?

   Robbie Williams got his start in music when he joined the boy band Take That in 1990 at the age of 16.

   His mother, Janet, saw an advertisement for auditions and encouraged him to try out. Robbie was selected as the youngest member of the group (alongside Gary Barlow, Jason Orange, Mark Owen and Howard Donald), and Take That quickly rose to fame in the UK with a string of hit singles and albums.

   Despite his initial success with the band, Robbie felt creatively restricted and often clashed with the group’s management.

   In 1995, he left Take That to pursue a solo career, where he found even greater success and artistic freedom.
