The Rock DJ singer was embroiled in a nasty feud with Gary Barlow over who sang lead vocals on the bands songs
Robbie Williams reveals that his time in Take That became a power struggle and compares it to Lord of The Flies before he quit with “a boot full of champagne and a pocket full of cocaine”.
He jokes of the group’s formation in 1990: “The Berlin Wall had just come down, Margaret Thatcher had just resigned, and Nelson Mandela had taken his first steps to freedom... but a more seismic event was about to happen, with four men from in and around Manchester and a guy from Stoke-on-Trent.” Discussing his decision to quit the group in 1995, he laments: “I started getting ideas about writing my own songs. One thing led to another and I made the cardinal mistake of breaking the rules. They couldn’t contain me anymore.
He later added: “Take That became a painful, distant memory. Until they came back and were much bigger than they were back then! They came back and they were bigger than they were! And I was happy for them, and I thought, ‘F*** it, if you can beat them join them.'”
