Where to Find Robbie's Work and Listening Habits

Having just had his gig canceled in Turkey, Robbie Williams is inadvertently more controversial than ever. To make matters even madder, we speak the day after the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Robbie Williams joins Andrew Gold on Heretics for one of his rawest and funniest interviews yet — talking about fame, anxiety, cancel culture and the madness of modern life. From Take That to “Angels” to being labelled “toxic” online, Robbie opens up about what it means to survive in a world where everyone seems angry.

He reflects on depression, ego and his search for meaning after superstardom - and reveals why he’s still addicted to fame, even when it hurts. Expect stories about Gary Barlow, Boy George, Ricky Gervais, Lady Gaga, Charlie Kirk and even Donald Trump’s assassination attempt - plus Robbie’s hilarious take on why “everyone with an opinion feels toxic” and why he can’t stop reading the comment sections.

This is the most honest Robbie Williams you’ve ever seen - part confessional, part comedy and completely Heretical.
