ROCK ‘N ROLL SOBERSTAR –
Nov. 19, 2023 – Speaking to The Sun, the singer got candid about that dark time in his life, sharing what was going through his head at the time: “I thought I could snort the most, take the most pills, drink the most and I thought that was a superpower at the time.” He added, “I didn’t know that was my fast track to death. You feel like you’re indestructible, I didn’t feel I was going to die. It’s only subsequently I realize I was close.”
That might sound like a horrifying experience, but back then, those six days went by in a blur because of how disoriented he was. Williams’ addiction was already spiraling out of control when he was downing a bottle of vodka a day, but the pop star ignored a major wake-up call that came around the time of Take That’s first MTV Awards appearance. When the band arrived in Brussels for the show, Williams wanted to celebrate, so he partied way too hard and heavily abused alcohol and drugs throughout the weekend.
