WILLIAMS: ‘I ALMOST QUIT’
ROBBIE WILLIAMS considered quitting his career in pop music to pursue charity work.
Five years ago the Angels hitmaker was depressed and worn out, and fled to Los Angeles to escape life in the public eye.
He convinced himself he would retire from music and take on a more charitable role.
He says, "I had burnt out. I was completely burnt out. That was it. I decided, I’m retiring. I didn’t say it but I thought it. I thought, ‘I’m going to go off and do something else’. I thought it would present itself to me. It would be a proper job. It would be humanitarian." But the singer never managed to send out his resume to any charities, and instead sought comfort in food.
He adds, "I just sat on my a**e and ATE. I was waiting on the sofa for something to happen and I wasn’t very proactive about searching for this other job." The cheeky pop star has now returned to Britain and relaunched his music career with new single Bodies, set for release next month (Oct09).
