Robbie Williams has revealed that he felt “constantly vulnerable” during his time in Take That, after discovering that “seventeen [or] eighteen people wanted to kill” him.<\/p>\n

Talking of “jealousy” and “resentment” in his hometown of Stoke-on-Trent, he added that even his mum felt unsafe and feared an attack, causing him “shame”.<\/p>\n

The star opened up about his boyband woes in a new interview in The Times, exclaiming: “There was a contract out to kill me at a very early age.”<\/p>\n

“I didn’t feel safe at home and I didn’t feel safe in the band. There was no safety anywhere and I felt constantly vulnerable. But that’s PTSD, isn’t it?”<\/p>\n

By extension, his mother was also at risk, with Robbie claiming that she “couldn’t even leave her house or open her curtains” and felt “overwhelmed”.<\/p>\n

In Robbie’s first biography, Feel, written by Chris Heath in collaboration with the star, the author told of how Robbie had found bullet-holes in a window of his house on one occasion.<\/p>\n

The Let Me Entertain You star has also spoken in the past of how he became aware of a plot to hire a hitman to kill him.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, he added that he sees being in a boyband at all as a possible trigger for “mental illness”, pointing out that all five Take That members experienced struggles.<\/p>\n

The group is said to have sold more than 45 million albums worldwide – but behind the scenes, co-star Howard Donald “contemplated suicide”.<\/p>\n

Robbie also stated that bandmate Gary Barlow “became bulimic and agoraphobic and didn’t leave his house…. forgot how to write songs and slept under his piano”.<\/p>\n

He added that Mark Owen had “ended up in rehab” and Jason Orange had “disappeared” altogether to avoid the pressures of fame and recognition.<\/p>\n

“All the boys have mentioned [these problems] publicly, so I’m not busting anyone’s privacy,” Robbie continued, going on to say that a documentary should be made to raise awareness of the fates of boy band members.<\/p>\n

Robbie had previously shared his frustration about not being able to visit various places because of death threats and animosity towards him.<\/p>\n
