Full reviewI received an e-mail from Amazon supposedly from Robbie himself, promising me deep dark revelations about himself in this book. The first page of the book promised me ?Robbie Williams, inside my tour, my head, my pants?. Instead I found it disappointing.

?Somebody, Someday? is not a biography of Robbie Williams, despite the hype and marketing material - it is a diary of a tour. It is a nice looking hard back book, heavy, glossy and with a great cover ? sultry Robbie on the front and check chappy Robbie on the back. There are dozens of pages of quality photos inside, both colour and black and white. A few of my favourites are one of Robbie peeing up a fence, lying in bed showing his fluffy chest and tattoos, and rows of lighters at a concert being waved by fans during Angels (reminds me of the Milton Keynes Bowl concert in July which I attended).

It is written by Mark McCrum who basically went on tour with Robbie and his band. It strikes me that due to not getting enough footage of Robbie himself, Mark decided that details about his entourage would do as fillers for the book. We are introduced to his song writing partner, Guy Chambers, who is one of the most important people in Robbie?s life. Between them they have written most of Robbie?s famous hits, the first ?big? one being Angels. The band consists of Gary Nuttal (guitar), Fil Eisler (guitar), Yolanda Charles (bass guitar), Chris Sharrock (drums), Claire Worrall (keyboards/guitar), Tessa Niles (backing singer) and Katie Kissoon (backing singer). If I add the sentence, Robbie did a European tour during which he stayed sober and the band members got drunk, then I have given most of the plot away ? sorry.

To be fair, I did learn a bit more about Robbie (or Rob to his friends), such as he now admits being an alcoholic and he live with his best friend Jonathan Wilkes who was (at the time of the book) trying to launch a pop career (must have failed as I have never heard of him - have you?). Instead of alcohol, he is now addicted to a card game called Uno. There were a few funny moments in the book, but I won?t recount them here or I will take away the few minutes of pleasure you may get reading this book. It also covered a period of time when Robbie won some major awards and also seemed to be going through a period of change from a pissed rock star to an introspective adult.

The book aims to be trendy with chapters called ?Orange Juice Rave?, ?Can You Kick It?, and ?Be Arsed!?. Maybe this is why I didn?t get on with it, as I am not trendy. You learn as much about the band, crew and managers as you do Robbie himself, but one fact that comes through loud and clear is that Robbie is a superstar and is truly loved by his crew.

The book is 251 pages long, and if you are an out and out Robbie fan, I suppose it is compulsory buying. The RRP is £17.99, but I have seen it with up to 50% discount in bookstores and at Amazon.

If you are a Robbie fan and want to see more of him, try visiting www.robbiewilliams.com (http://www.robbiewilliams.com). I note from the web site that there is a new film about Robbie out soon called Nobody, Someday. Surprise, surprise, I bet it is diary of the tour! The web site also explains how to play Uno, so if anyone out there truly believes they might meet Robbie one day, perhaps you should learn how to play his favourite game.

Anyway, back to the book, personally I was disappointed and I cannot recommend it, yet perversely I am glad I read it and feel an inch closer to probably the world?s best entertainer of our time.

Full reviewI am a big fan of Mr Robbie Williams and I have been for about 3 years now, to me he seems to just keep getting better and better.

I love all of his songs especially Angels, Road To Mandalay, Eternity and Let Me Entertain You.

My Boyfriends Niece knowing how much I like him bought me his book Somebody Someday as a Christmas present and I was well buzzing.

It's quite a thick book with over 250 pages. It is a hard back book with a paper cover which features a very cool picture of the man himself on the front and the back. Inside the cover there is Robbie's autograph and being the very cheeky person he is instead of writing All The Best he has written All The Breast, which made me chuckle.

There are 12 chapters in total, which are as follows:

1.We Shall See What Happens.
2.The Stockholm Situation.
3.Orange Juice Rave.
4.Robbie World.
5.Trying To Find Robert.
6.Rock 'n' Roll Veteran.
7.New Rob.
8.Rock DJ.
9.Can You Kick It.
10.Be Arsed!
11.I'm Ace.
12.Turnaround.

Each chapter gives you a peek into the life of Robbie Williams. He tells what his life is like on a day to day basis and he doesn't just talk about the good things but also about the bad things and the sad moments. The whole book is sort of set out like a diary.

There are lots of really great pictures of Rob at his best and his worst. I allways thought that Rob was a very confident and cheeky person who loves to perform and show-off but after reading this I realise I was wrong. In actual fact he is a very insecure person who cant even stand the sound of his own voice.

Onstage Robbie is a very cocky and funny guy who loves to show-off and get his bum out, but offstage he is a very quiet and lonely man who wont say a word to anyone.

The people Robbie loves more than anything are his band, fans and Grandmother and anyone else that has helped him get where he is today.

I can recommend reading this book to anyone, especially if you are a fan of Robbie like myself or even if you are just curious as to what Rob is really like

Full reviewUsually when i read a book i can't read to the end and i usually give up but with this book it is certainly no the case , i could barely put it down because i wanted to know more and find out more about Robbie and more about Rob.

The Book is quite a big hardback book filled with pictures, Quotes, The story of Rob and all of Robs funny little extras he likes to add. The Front cover opens up to reveal a signiture of Robs which is amazing and it reads "All The Breast, Robbie" Already you can tell that this book is going to be great, and it is.

The Book describes in detail how Robs European Tour went and how he felt about it. Most people will think Rob is a Confident,Cheeky Chappy who doesn't really care but really he is a shy quiet guy who doesn't know what to say to anybody. This Book really gets into the mind of what it is like to be Robbie Williams and how when he gets on stage Robbie becomes alive but when he gets off stage it is Rob. Rob doesn't just go on about how great it is to be a star and be famous , yes he does have his happy moments which he describes but he also describes his bad and sad moments.

Rob describes in the book how much everyone and everything means to him he feels that his family , friends and fans are the most importnat things to himever and he would never take credit away from his band because he realises the importance of the band bringing the music together.

Overall i belive this gives a very good and very interesting diary of how it feels To be Robbie Williams and how he is not what everyone thinks him to be and i recomend this book 200 % to everyone in need of some entertainment and some interest because this book by far is the most interesting and amazing book i hav ever read in my life !

100/10

Full reviewI have just finished reading this book, and it was slow going at first. This book gave great insight into Robbie's life on the tour, although I my personal opinion of him, throughout the first half of the book, was not very high. I felt that he came across quite self-centered and ungrateful. Apparently he found it quite hard doing the tour and wouldn't enjoy himself wondering why he was doing it at all. I think that attitude does grate on the general public as we are the ones that put him where he is and want something back. However my opinion totally changed towards the end and I did start to feel quite sorry for him, in the life that he was living. At the end of the book Robbie had finished touring and the author gave the impression that he was more relaxed. I also think the book commends him on battling his demons (drink & drugs) considering the other band members were drinking quite a lot of the time. I would like to have seen more pictures of the band members to put names to faces, as they were written about a lot. There were pictures in the book but not many showed other people other than Robbie, but you can say that it was about him so should contain pictures just of himself. I think Robbie is good and probably the UK's main entertainer these days. I would like Robbie to write a book himself so we can really get into his head and know his thoughts and feelings, especially about Geri and Rachel Turner.

Full reviewWhen I thought i was about to read a biography I just assumed it would be about robbies life. I was very intrigued to find out about his mischevious childhood and bad boy days. This book was very disappointing. It is all about his tour as written by soe guy that was there. There is no insight to his drug problems, alcohol problems, other than he is trying to stay clean and dry. There is no majorreasons why he has decided to carry on with life without alcohol. It is very well written although just about 1 period of time. If you want to know all about robbies tour then this is the book for you, if you want to know about his life, avoid it!

I have just started to read this book tonight.

From the author
My third authorised book in a row - what's going on? But when my agent calls I can't resist the idea of going on tour with the biggest British pop star of the moment. Discount the fact that I'm fifteen years older than him and have virtually no knowledge of pop music after two-tone. This is going to be fascinating.

It was too, even though at times I felt like a superannuated version of Cameron Crowe in Almost Famous. I had little concept of the massive entourage that follows a popstar of Robbie's calibre around, nor of the bizarre and entertaining way that travelling family operates. Fortunately both band and crew gave me the benefit of the doubt and made me welcome in dressing rooms and on tour buses. And my 'fresh eye', though it made for the odd embarrassing pop howler (thinking that Guy Chambers had once played in a band called Wild Party, for example), proved a useful attribute.


As the book reveals, Robbie is a much more complex character than the 'cheeky chappy' superlad of tabloid myth. He suffers from bouts of acute introspection and insecurity, though anyone who knows his lyrics would understand this and it is undoubtedly the powerful expression of his self-doubt and personal pain that makes him so popular with his fans.

This tour was made all the more interesting by the fact that Robbie announced at the start his intention to leave drink and drugs behind forever. His attempt to stay clean while performing was the personal challenge that became the story of the book. Helped by manager and mentor David Enthoven (himself an ex-addict) he succeeded, though not without some testing moments along the way - most notably when he was pushed off stage by a crazed non-fan during a gig in Stuttgart.

Though promoted in the press as an 'autobiography', this book isn't that. It's an account of a tour, and how Robbie was on that tour. Those looking for Victoria Beckham style insights into Robbie's childhood, parents, upbringing, relationship with Take That etc are not going to find them here. Instead you have the equivalent of the laminated backstage pass that legendary tour manager Andy 'Franksy' Franks handed me on Day One at the Docklands London Arena. SERMON ON THE MOUNT TOUR it read. And beneath that, in suitably biblical script, THOU SHALT PASS...

Somebody Someday is out now! Go and buy it! Everthing about Rob and lots of great picutres!

Read a bit from Robbies new Book already! "TODAY, in his OWN WORDS, pop hero Robbie Williams lays bare the secrets of his entire life. This is the ultimate and official Robbie story told with the absolute authority of the man himself. With details no one else could know, the 27-year-old pin-up who has long battled drugs and drink reveals: THE TRUTH about his sex life, THE TRUTH about those gay rumours, and THE TRUTH about his relationship with Geri Halliwell. Forget every other Robbie story and interview you've ever read, this is the one that will matter. The one that gets to the the heart of every facet of his life, loves and dreads. His closest friends, unafraid to put their names to secrets they reveal, have also come forward to add to this definitive story, collated by Mark McCrum for new book Somebody Someday. They even tell of Robbie's 'feasting' on groupies, including a "luscious brunette in thigh boots." Adapted for the News of the World by chief feature writer JULES STENSON, this is pure, uncensored Robbie captured backstage. Or, to give Robbie's official stamp of approval: "It's inside my tour, inside my head, and inside my pants." I gave up drink and drugs on the tour and wanted to substitute it with something else, so I had sex. For me it was a compulsion. Sex, drink, drugs, they go hand in hand. When I took drugs I'd end up every evening in the toilets trying to s**g people. That's embarassing. Really seedy. Well, not seedy, but I just wanted to have sex, compulsive sex. That saddens me. Now it's different. I remember I was sat in a club in the South of France not long ago and it was amazing. I was looking round the dance floor for the glazed-eyed pillock that was 'nil by mouth' hanging outside the girls' toilets and I couldn't find him... because there was only me. Titter But on this tour (his 'Sermon on the Mount' tour around Europe) it's fair to say I 'dabbled'... 'There are a few things I've sorted' It's also very powerful when you're on stage and you pick someone out. It works and, yes, I get a kick out of it. The fact that I'm on stage pretending to be a character making that person melt. I find it (a) a boost to the ego and (b) titter to myself thinking, if they only ****ing knew me. I look at them and see who they think I am. A lot of artists don't want their audience to have a good time, they want them to listen to the music. I don't give a sh*t. I want them to jump up and down, sing, laugh, cry, I work hard at that. But a lot of nights I'll be looking straight at somebody and I'm not even looking at them. Because I'm scared their reaction is going to be something I don't want to see... Really, I don't know what I look for in a woman. I'm not looking. I'm sticking to men! (he jokes!) But I don't give a toss if people think I'm gay. I wouldn't say I've not thought about it, because you do. People do when they're growing up. And I did once kiss a man in a club � that was like, you know, your lipstick lesbians that are not really lesbians. I just walked in and there was a friend of mine there at the time and he came up and kissed me. I thought, sod it, I'll kiss you then. But in a manly way. 'Making a person melt is an ego boost' I might try it. If I was attracted to a man then I'd do it, but as it stands I haven't been physically or emotionally attracted to a man to do anything sexual with them. That's how it stands at the minute. Being asked if you're gay is only a difficult question if you deem being gay as something wrong, dirty, or derogatory. It's not to me. It's as simple as: "These men like men, these women like women, and some women like men and some men like women." The other week, someone said to Jonathan (Wilkes, his childhood friend and flatmate): "Oh I think Robbie likes men." Of course, Jonathan got upset and he stuck up for me,which he shouldn't have. I just said to him: "Next time somebody asks you if I'm gay just say: "When Rob's good and ready to come out he will do." Wife and kids? Yeah. But I ain't rushing into it. And I haven't had a relationship with anybody as boyfriend and girlfriend for over two years. The last person I 'walked out' with was Tania Strecker (the blonde TV presenter who most recently hosted Channel 4's Beachmate, the holiday dating show). 'I've had no relationship for two years' But we weren't going out with each other, we were friends. We never committed to a relationship. She was just a nice persoAnd yeah, people want to believe that I'm going out with Geri Halliwell or whoever. I'm not with her. We're just really good friends. This is a collection of 27-year-old Robbie's views, shared bit by bit on his European tour which ended in March. "Sexually you can do what you want, act out however you want to," he says at another point. "It's allowed. I'm a pop star. But it's soulless, like w***ing." The musical schedule has been punishing. In Stockholm he really doesn't enjoy his stage performance. "Thank God Britney Spears was there," says his co-manager David Enthoven afterwards. "He gave a great performance � really for her. She stood by the side of the stage and he was really going for it." When, later, a few days' rest comes along everyone is in a good mood. Robbie is heading for Chamonix for two days' skiing, the band are going to Amsterdam while the crew are staying around Zurich. For now, though, all except Robbie are in a hospitality suite waiting for the star himself to appear. When he does all the men and women gather round for their 'tour song' based on Ali G's slang for female sex organs: "Ride the punani," Robbie leads them in a chant. "Ride the punaneeeeee. Give me some. Give me some punani." 'If only the audience really knew me' Robbie is used to toying with lyrics. On occasion on stage, halfway though his mega-hit She's The One, he will point to a man near the front row and sing: "He's the one." Pal Jonathan Wilkes says: "There used to be some stupid talk about me and Rob being gay... two boys who live with each other. But we're just two mates from Stoke-on-Trent who've been friends all our lives. Get a life." Backstage, in the area you can only reach with the Access-All-Areas pass, is Rob's private dressing room. All he needs is neatly laid out. There are usually two low tables. A square candle sits on one, a big bowl of fruit on the other � kiwi, melon, pineapple, strawberries and a pomegranate. Then there are ashtrays, Orbit gum and Ricola cough lozenges. Finally, next to a full-length mirror is his make-up table. On it are six packs of Silk Cut, six bottles of Volvic, a Peanut Butter Crunch Bar and an Apple Cobbler Crunch Bar (with yoghurt coating). Then there's the make-up: Fudge hair putty, Clarins Masque 'Anti-Soif', Eclat du Jour energising morning cream, Elizabeth Arden Eight-Hour Cream and a box of Kleenex. In Paris, Robbie's band are staying at the Hotel Le Parc. Members of his band and entourage are lounging in orange armchairs in the lobby. The chit-chat turns to Robbie. "He feasted last night," whispers one band member with a grin. "All night long apparently," adds charismatic Californian tour accountant Tom Golseth with a laugh. Even the red thong man is on stage' "She was waiting in the foyer, with the thigh-high boots. Long, luscious legs and a short black skirt. Nice a*se. Black jumper, very dark hair. Actually, quite sweet too, so he had a good time." But not even Robbie can click his fingers and bed every girl he fancies. Take Copenhagen, for example, Robbie played there on Valentine's Day. Back at the hotel there's a post-gig supper, sandwiches and tomato soup. Robbie sits quietly with his manager and personal assistant. At the next table Tom Golseth is entertaining a tall, leggy blonde and a clean-cut man. "She's a bit thick and really sweet," Tom says later. "I invited her to the show but she turns up with her brother! So I went up to Rob and I said, 'Rob, I've got this girl here and she's really cute. Straight up, I don't have a chance with her. Take her off my hands, please'. She wanted him to autograph a napkin. So he did, then she walked away. Just as she was going, he said, 'Oh wait, I forgot to put a PS'. I was just behind her so I could see what he'd written. It said, 'PS my name in the hotel is Mr So-and-so and here's my room number and I really want to see you tonight'. But still it didn't work. As she was leaving she even asked me what the note meant! I said, 'Come on!' "She said, 'You mean he wants sex?' I said, 'Of course'." Of the extraordinary situation that faces Robbie on tour, author Mark McCrum writes: "It's bizarre, being a young man trapped in a hotel room with hordes of dolled-up women waiting for you in the lobby below. Rob can't come down and chat and flirt normally (and find out exactly who wants what) because he'd be overrun, so quite often he leaves the business of making the introductions to his trusted entourage." 'About to go on, vocals are pumping you up' After the Berlin gig, for example, there are still fans left in the bar of Robbie's hotel at 2am. Drinking tea at a table by the door are Marlene and Haydee. Marlene has a ginger mop. Haydee has long dark hair and a mobile mouth. One of Robbie's security guys begins chatting and a call comes on his mobile. People upstairs are playing Uno, Robbie's favourite card game. They want 'one more player'. He looks at Haydee. "I don't want to play Uno," she laughs. "It's a kids' game, isn't it?" "You don't have to play Uno," he says. "Are they stupid?" he mutters. A minute later another security man appears. He's more direct. "You know who we work for, don't you?' he says. "This person would be very happy to see Haydee in his room." "This person," adds the first security man, "is someone whose gig you've recently seen." "Oh," says Haydee. "Michael Jackson!" The security men exchange exasperated looks. But eventually the girls are persuaded to go up to Robbie's room. The security guy knocks on Robbie's door. A muffled 'come in' and the girls are ushered in. "I'm sorry," Robbie mutters, "too many people, goodnight." Sometimes, though, the boot is on the other foot and stars are overwhelmed by Robbie. He appears with Hugh Grant on Parkinson's TV show. Backstage afterwards, Robbie runs into Jeremy Paxman. "Nice to meet you," says Robbie. "Are you going on next?" "Sorry, not grand enough," says Paxman. "Off to grill a minister. "Give 'em hell," says Robbie. Then Hugh appears in his dressing room (alarmingly like he is in the movies) to present: "Er... Sarah, er, a girl who works in my office. She's a huge, huge fan..." Some encounters are simply bizarre. After one gig Robbie gets on the tour bus and goes upstairs as usual... to see a portly man in a red thong getting out of one of the bunks! 'I'm scared of what their reaction will be' "I'd never seen him before," says Robbie, "so I said, 'Are you on the right bus?' He went, 'Yeah, why?' He kept saying 'Why?' like he was going to hit me. So I said, 'Because I'm Robbie Williams and I pay your wages. Now get your clothes on and get off the bus'. He was completely startled. It turned out he was a driver who'd got on the wrong bus. He kept saying, 'I'm sorry, Rob'. "I said, 'I'm really sorry for shouting at you man'. Bless him. Red thong. That image has got lodged in my fantasy file." At the end of the tour Robbie even invited him on stage! HOW many times do I have to tour before I actually finally realise that it makes me ill? Other people seem to manage very well. I look at Madonna and think, "Why is she still doing that? What is the constant need to change?" She's in her 40s now. She looks great... amazing. But I'm thinking: "Why does she feel the need to do that?" I always want the ground to open up whenever I'm talking to any of my peers like Bono or Elton John. I don't feel worthy to be in their company. If I speak to them for too long they're going to know I'm a charlatan. And I think Eminem's a lyrical genius, ****ing Shakespeare. But me? I could very easily sabotage everything. I could say, "I hate all of this and I never want to do it again." Then I'd have a year off and say: "Actually, I feel much better now. There's a few things personally in my life that I've sorted out," and perhaps I'd enjoy it. But my feeling has been just to sabotage everything. EVERY time I go to awards ceremonies I always end up feeling less than anyone else, like they're cooler than me, their songs are better than mine, they're handling the whole thing better than me. What the Brits was beautiful for (he is referring to this year's awards where he won three gongs) was that it was the first time I didn't feel more than anybody or, more importantly for me, less than anybody. I'm honoured that the public should take time out of their day and spend 50p to phone up and say: "We think Robbie should win it." Because normally on those sort of things it's won by whoever's the biggest boy band at the time. The only people that can be bothered to get off their a**es are teenagers or younger than teenagers. My audience has changed an awful lot. Loads of teenagers still come but now there's more of the over-20 crowd, the over-25 crowd, the couple crowd. Here was 20 per cent of me that believed I deserved the awards. The rest didn't. And there was a quarter of me that thought, "I should have won four!" I STARTED writing poetry when I was with Take That. I can always remember me being off my face and grabbing Bono and George Michael at parties and making them go to a separate room to hear my lyrics. I knew I had some talent because I used to do melody lines. I used to write these songs in my head. I remember going down Dean Street in Manchester where there's just lots of prostitutes. And I wrote about them. Then I sang this song down to Gary Barlow (always touted as the creative brain of Take That and the member most likely to succeed) going, "What do you think?" There was a silence at the other end. Finally he said, "It's all right that, Robbie lad." Then he said to someone else, "That Robbie's started writing some stuff. It'd be all right if we were in a rock and roll band." more plus lovely pix like this

i got this book last week while in the city searching for a book from school;) of course, i wasn't actually looking for anything for school LOL

I've read the first two chapters and i'm loving it. I get depressed reading about Rob's trouble with drugs, though:(

Gah, I so want to read it, but the only way it would happen it would be to buy it on the net, but it would cost a lotta money. Is there a way I can get it on the net, free? ¬¬

^ why not from the shop?
Thats where i got mine:D

Extract from an article in today's edition of Scotland on Sunday 22 Oct 2006

Mark McCrum, ghostwriter of Robbie Williams' autobiography Somebody Someday earned a £200,000 advance, plus a share of the profits. The sum dwarfs the £20,000 to £25,000 a talented literary novelist can earn in advance of publication.

I like it ,but I prefer 'Feel'

is this book the same sort of style as feel?

Would really have loved the book to have been a bit raunchier, but read it all in one evening.. fantastic x

Read it some years ago and a few times already...one of my favs

I love this book, even if it makes me a little sad at some points.

Gah, I so want to read it, but the only way it would happen it would be to buy it on the net, but it would cost a lotta money. Is there a way I can get it on the net, free? ¬¬

I have a fully scanned version on my PC ;) still have to read it

Any chance of an upload!!???
Pretty please with sugar on top *flutters eyelashes*

I preferred Feel. Would have preferred this book to be rauchier!!

I got this for Christmas, still reading and find it enjoyable. One thing makes me wonder...there`s an autograph inside the cover, pretty strange place for it... Is this the way it is or I`m so lucky to have signed copy-?

I have the same signature in mine be2.
I enjoyed this book too. It looked at Rob from a different angle than Feel. More of the rehab and his relationship with David and the band..Loved the stories of Fil

thanks for the answer ntla, even though I`m a bit disappointed now :wink3:

thanks for the answer ntla, even though I`m a bit disappointed now :wink3:

I know wish it was a real signature.

I just got the book in the mail ... looking forward to reading it!

i love the cover of the book, and all the notes to the crew ... 5 stars plus!

it's the first Robbie's book they have translated into estonian.
i read it in estonian but i would have wanted to read it in english. why? because there are lots of things what isnt translated as it really is in english. so yea, i'm planning to get this book in english too.
but i liked this book, this was quite good. but i like "feel" more than this.

THis book is tame in comparison to Feel.
I see it as a tour diary that could have expanded upon if the cameras from the documentary had not also been there. I read it after reading Feel three times and while it's interesting, Chris Heath has far more an insight. Mark seems in awe of Robbie and is kept at a distance. Chris gives him in every angle and this allows a fuller opinion to be formed of the subject.
Robbie cannot be confined to chapters. Chris shows his jagged edges and how they are part of Williams the man.
