Celebrating 30 years as a solo artist, Robbie Williams speaks with Tania Bryer about overcoming addiction to become the most successful musician in U.K. album chart history. He also shares his ambitions to build businesses beyond music.
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 and went on to build what would become a hugely successful solo career.
Today, he has more U.K. No. 1 albums than The Beatles and continues to sell out stadiums around the world. But despite generating tens of millions from live performances, Williams is now expanding his brand beyond the stage. He has moved into visual art, launched a fashion label and is exploring new business ventures.
In this edition of “CNBC Meets,” Williams tells host Tania Bryer how he overcame anxiety, how he is using AI and why, after three decades of success, he is still pushing for more.
