Robbie Williams Got a Welfare Check From Chris Martin After Netflix Series
Key Points
- Chris Martin phoned to check on Robbie's wellbeing after the Netflix documentary.
- Robbie called the series successful yet admitted he hasn't fully "wrapped it up" emotionally.
- Still hungry for hits, he beat The Beatles' UK No.1 albums record and wants more "golden nuggets."
ROBBIE Williams has revealed Chris Martin reached out to him for a welfare check after the release of his four-part Netflix series in 2023.
The Rock DJ hitmaker says the Coldplay frontman was so concerned about Robbie’s well-being, he got in touch to make sure he was okay now.
Williams, 52, spoke out on the Robbie Rewind podcast.
“Chris reached out after the Netflix documentary, to see if I was OK,” he said.
“He’s a very nice man, and I think he does that with a lot of people. What may have confused people about the Netflix thing is I’m finding it was very successful.
“But what I didn’t do was wrap it up and go, ‘No, that was then, this is now – and it’s ace now’.
“ I might have to do that with the new documentary. But I don’t know how successful a man being happy is going to be.”
Robbie — who earlier this year overtook The Beatles to become the act with the most UK No1 albums — says he’s still hungry for success.
“Look at Lionel Richie’s setlist, you’ll be shocked,” he said.
“I’ve got a bunch of hits but I could have had more. I am always hungry for more. I keep saying, ‘When’s my Cher Believe moment?’ But it will happen.
“If I could go back in time and say, ‘You are going to need five or six more golden nugget songs to see you through the rest of your career,’ that’s what I should have done.”
