I have had a somewhat tumultuous journey with Robbie's career. Because of my age, I was a Take That fan before I was a Robbie fan - I've seen Take That as a 4 piece, a 5 piece and now a 3 piece band. It wasn't until I saw Robbie on stage during The Progress Tour that I actually fell in love and appreciated just what an absolute pop icon Robbie is. Since then, I've followed his career and been to numerous tours. The highlights for me have been (luckily) bagging tickets to the Palladium gig and being front row GA at the Swings Both Ways tour.

One thing I absolutely love is the feeling you get when you come away from one of Robbie's gigs: it's unlike anything else - you come out feeling more euphoric than you went in. To even be able to see or understand a smidgen of what it takes, emotionally and physically, for Robbie to get up on that stage each night makes me appreciate him even more.

Let's not forget the age old saying: all the world's a stage. It seems particularly true here. It appears Robbie's every move is scrutinised in the media; a battle he is never likely to win. But in the heart of all the friendlies across the world, Robbie will always be our hero. The man, who unbeknown to himself, forges friendships, memories and happiness to fans a million times over.

This book adorns an image of a pop star, revealing a very personal picture of a man so readily written about in the media it's difficult to know what is real and what is fake. This book works to remedy that. This is a rollercoaster ride through time, emphasising a very personal account of his own ups and downs. Sometimes sad and sometimes funny, this beautiful book reveals all about the omnipresent figure of Robbie Williams: international pop star.

Long may his career continue.
