Robbie Williams on 'Take That'
Nov 9, 2005, 16:50 GMT
Robbie Williams has thanked his former Take That bandmates for saving him from a life of crime and drug addiction.
The pop heartthrob admitted the group - comprising Jason Orange, Howard Donald, Mark Owen and Gary Barlow - probably saved his life because their success gave him the money to beat his well-publicised drug addiction.
He told a TV documentary: 'Perhaps Take That saved my life. 'I'd have had a problem with drugs anyway, I was heading that way. In all seriousness I would have been a dealer or a burglar and that's the truth because I would not have had the money to fund my addiction and I'd have probably been in jail now.' The singer also revealed he and the rest of Take That - who split a decade ago - enjoyed getting high together. He told the ITV1 show, 'Take That... For The Record': 'Before Take That I'd done acid, speed and smoked a lot of weed so I was sort of heading into that direction anyway. 'But for the other lads it wasn't really part of their life, other than we used to like to smoke weed and then giggle. We used to laugh so much you know and it still makes me laugh now. When we smoked weed we probably had the best time.'Copyright 2005 BANG Media International
