adminRobbie Williams has alleged that it cost him £1,5 million to leave Take That in 1995, more than he had earned after five years in the group.
The 39-year-old singer – who reunited with Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen three years ago for their sixth studio album– ended up having to pay the large sum to get out of his contract.
Talking to BBC Radio 4’s Mastertapes, he said: “For reasons I can’t go into because certain people like suing me – there was a big need for me to get out of my contract and out of that record company. I think I made a million or something in Take That and then it cost me a million and a half to get out of the deal. I ended up coming out of Take That owing £500 000.”
“I said to the boys, ‘This will be my last tour.’ We went for a curry the night before everything happened, and we were taking a competition winner for a curry. It mustn’t have been a very nice evening for them!”
He added: “I went back to the hotel and got drunk again, got up the next day, went into rehearsals and I wasn’t in a very good way.” – Daily Mail.
