Williams’ Career Trajectory
Williams got into drugs after suffering from depression due to his loss of creative input in music, whilst he was in the band ‘Take That’. He became hostile and eventually was asked to leave the band. The singer left the band in 1996. He immediately wanted to venture into solo career. However, his clause stated that he couldn’t release any solo material until after Take That officially disbanded, and he was forced to pay $200,000 in commission after being sued by Martin-Smith.
Finally, after the disbandment of the band in 1996, he got out of his contract with Take That and signed a new record deal with Chrysalis Records. His career started strongly and he released many covers, and singles. He released his debut album: ‘Life thru a Lens’ which contained the smash hit ‘Angels’ which still remains his best-seller in the UK to this day. The track helped his debut album sell over 2.4 million dollars.
In 2012, he released an album called ‘Take the Crown‘. This album contained the hit ‘Candy’, which became Robbie’s first number-one hit in many years. In 2018, Williams performed at the opening ceremony of the FIFA World Cup.
