His early pop career started with the hit boy band Take That. Robbie Williams | Polyphonic RingtonesDisplaying 1 - 18 of 18 ringtones:» INFO | did you know? « After leaving Take That, Williams immersed himself in the rock & roll lifestyle. This included an infamous appearance during Oasis's headlining set at Glastonbury in 1995. This led to a highly publicised battle with drug and alcohol addiction, during which he put on nearly 40 pounds (18 kg) and was often seen in public poorly dressed, dirty and unshaven. After a well-publicised fallout with Oasis, Noel Gallagher famously refused to recognise him as anything but "that fat dancer from Take That". At the time, British media speculated that the badly-behaved Williams would not be a success as a stand-alone musician. Robbie Williams | Monophonic RingtonesDisplaying 1 - 40 of 46 ringtones:» INFO | did you know? « By 1996 Williams was ready to launch his solo career proper. His first single, "Freedom '96" (a cover of the popular 1990 George Michael tune) was released in August 1996. After a period in a drug rehabilitation clinic, this was followed up by "Old Before I Die" in 1997. Both singles reached number 2 in the UK charts and were considered successful. This led to his first solo album, Life Thru A Lens, later that year. The next single from Life Thru A Lens was "Angels", released in December 1997. The song's popularity propelled the album to number 1 on the album charts, 28 weeks after the album was first released. The 'ballad'-style song is credited with single-handedly rescuing Williams' career, and has proved to be his most popular to date, eventually reaching the top of the UK singles chart in early 1998. "Angels" was voted best song of the last 25 years by BBC Radio 2 listeners, and recieved a special award at the 25th Brit Awards ceremony, held at Earls Court, London, in February 2005. Williams quickly became a major celebrity in the UK with a number of other top ten singles, which would typically gather only minor interest in the USA. "Millennium", built around a sample of the James Bond theme "You Only Live Twice", was a UK #1 hit in late 1998, but only peaked at #72 in America. » INFO | did you know? « His second album, I've Been Expecting You, continued in the James Bond/spy theme and topped the UK charts in October 1998. In 1999 he collaborated with singer Tom Jones of the Lenny Kravitz song, "Are You Gonna Go My Way?" on the album Reload, which they also performed together at the Brit Awards. Williams' next album, Sing While You're Winning, was released in 2000. The album contained the controversial single "Rock DJ", which reached number 1 in the UK charts and was a minor hit in the United States. Some controversy surrounded the single's accompanying music video, which featured Williams in a roller disco surrounded by ravenous female fans. In the video, Williams strips nude for the fans, then (using CGI technology) he is shown 'stripping off' his skin, muscle tissue and organs and feeding them to the female dancers. The video ends with Williams, now nothing but a skeleton, still dancing to the music. Robbie Williams | Voice RingtonesDisplaying 1 - 2 of 2 ringtones:
» INFO | did you know? « In 2002, the UK public voted Williams to be on the BBC's list of the 100 Greatest Britons (at number 77). He was also voted 17th in Channel 4's 100 Worst Britons poll. A best-selling official biography written by Chris Heath, "Feel", was published in 2004. It chronicled events that led up to to the "Live Summer Tour 2003", during which Williams performed live to more than a 375,000 people over three nights in August 2003 at Knebworth Park in Hertfordshire; this has become known as the biggest UK rock concert ever. Former Take That band member Mark Owen appeared with Williams on the third day, while 3.5 million more watched live on television and on the Internet. Leading up to Knebworth, in December 2003, Williams toured Australia and New Zealand alongside Duran Duran. Since his split with songwriter Guy Chambers, Williams has faced some questions about his own songwriting abilities. Armed with a new writing partner, Stephen Duffy, Williams has penned several new songs, including the UK number 1 hit "Radio" and the more reflective "Misunderstood". Both tunes are taken from Williams' 19-track "Greatest Hits" album, released in October 2004. In February 2005, Williams received the British music industry's award for the best song of the past quarter century, "Angels", the song Williams credits with giving him a solo career. Williams also performed at the Live 8 concert in London, 2005, where he was acknowledged as one of the stars of the show. An amusing incident happened at Live 8 when he asked the crowd to sing along with his hit song 'Feel', in which many in the crowd in Hyde Park were not familiar with. He jokingly covered it up and got a well-received laugh from the incident. Following in the footsteps of Freddie Mercury from Live Aid twenty years before, Williams got the entire crowd at Hyde Park to chant along with "We Will Rock You", showcasing Williams' ability to grab the crowd's energy. The eclectic heartthrob, who clinched the best male performer prize at the MTV Europe Music Awards last week, only managed to top the album charts for one week with sixth and latest album Intensive Care before being overtaken by the new Westlife album Face to Face. Robbie Williams claimed the title of Britain's biggest-selling pop act of the still-very-young 21st century, selling 6.3 million albums since 2000., narrowly beating Coldplay to the top rank.
