На двухсот восьмидесяти восьми страницах издания будут размещены двести пятьдесят фотографий, в том числе и нигде ранее не публиковавшиеся. С помощью фотографий Робби намеревается рассказать о прошедших двадцати годах в шоу-бизнесе.

Кроме повествования о сочинении песен и бесчисленных концертах, читатели узнают также и о триумфах и провалах певца, личной и общественной жизни, поисками равновесия между взрослением и отчаянным нежеланием взрослеть.

Книга «You Know Me» должна появиться в продаже 20 сентября.

Напомню, что в октябре этого года выйдет также и итоговый сборник синглов Робби Уильямса «In and Out of Consciousness: The Greatest Hits 1990-2010». В него будут включены тридцать девять синглов, в том числе две абсолютно новые песни, авторами которых стали Робби Уильямс и его коллега по группе «Take That» Гэри Барлоу.

Специальное издание будет доукомплектовано раритетными песнями и би-сайдами, среди которых кавер на песню Рэя Девиса «Lola», совместная песня с Макси Джазом из «Faithless» под названием «My Culture», а также DVD-диск со всеми клипами Робби плюс запись его концерта 2005 года в Берлине.

The singer has realised he is better off without booze and drugs, that he needs a woman by his side and that life is easier for him in Los Angeles.

But, above anything else, he has discovered that - deep down - he is as cheesy as WAYNE ROONEY's footie boots.

Robbie reckons his track Shame with GARY BARLOW reeks of Brie.

He said: "I'm really proud of it as a song.

"You know, I'm cheesemeister - I love the cheese and it's cheesy and lovely."

Watching the duo perform Shame at the Help for Heroes gig last Sunday, Robbie was genuinely touched to be on stage with the man he calls "skipper".

He will be even more emotional when he is joined by the rest of the TAKE THAT lads on their reunion tour.

In an interview with Magic FM, Robbie revealed how the group made up. He said: "We had the big talk.

"I apologised to the lads for anything that I had said that was hurtful. I hadn't done that to any of them really."

Robbie goes into further detail about getting back with the band in his new book You Know Me, out on Monday.

He also opens up about his battle with booze which nearly prevented the video for his first solo single, Freedom in 1996, from ever happening.

He said: "I think I'd drunk all of the shorts out of the mini-bar an hour before I was supposed to start filming."

His boozing also nearly stopped Robbie getting to film a 1999 charity ad to raise awareness for testicular cancer in LA. He had to wear fake breasts on a beach for the ad, pictured above.

He said: "I nearly wasn't allowed to go on the plane from London because I was that drunk.

"BA staff brought me a phone and it was DAVID ENTHOVEN (Robbie's manager).

"He said, 'Listen, old chap, they're not going to let you on the plane unless you sober up'."

Robbie also reveals how meeting DAVID BECKHAM was a huge moment for him.

The pair worked together on a project for UNICEF which involved Robbie interviewing Becks.

Football fan Rob said: "I didn't know what the f*** I was going to say.

"So I asked him if he liked butter. He said, 'Yeah, I like butter'."

I'd have put Becks down as a margarine man.

Robbie Williams shows off some fetching new hairdos - by balancing his pets on his head.

The chart star is seen trying out a series of new hairstyles by posing with his beloved dogs to create the effect of wigs.

The private photos of the star - which give a new spin on the phrase 'poodle perm' - are among the candid shots in a new book, You Know Me, which is published today.

He explains in the book: 'The press continually do the same story, the headline that should be - "Guy That Used To Be Young Gets Progressively Older ..", "Hair Turns A Different Colour", etc etc.

'So I was just trying out different colours to see what would suit me if I dyed my hair, using the dogs as colour pods.

'I think there could be a new website in there somewhere where people send pictures of themselves with their dogs as wigs.'

In the photos, taken this year, he says his white-coated pet Poupette gives him a 'very Louis XIVth' look, while his dog Wall-E makes him appear 'Andy Warhol-esque'.

Another shot shows him with Maggie - which he says makes him 'look demure - or like Davy Crockett', while the photo with his dog Abba makes him look 'afro-tastic', Williams concludes.

You Know Me, which looks back over his 20-year music career, has been co-written with journalist Chris Heath, who wrote Williams's biography Feel.

The hardback book, published by Ebury, costs £20.

This weekend, in an interview with Magic 105.4, Williams, 36, who married Ayda Field last month, revealed that the reason his album Rudebox failed to ignite the charts was all down to a mystery illness.

Speaking to DJ Neil Fox, he said: 'Running alongside the three years off, the Rudebox, the lack of confidence, I was lethargic and depressed and I thought I was lethargic and depressed as a person. I thought that was my make up.

'I found out a few months ago that I’d been ill, completely by mistake and I don’t want to go into the whys and wherefores but what I had makes you lethargic and makes you depressed and I’d had it for years and not known and I’m on treatment for it.

'It’s changed my life.'

Rob, 36, said: “I don’t know why I bought a Superman costume. It was just a way to distract me, I suppose.”

Rob is also unleashing his Greatest Hits next month. In And Out Of Consciousness 1990-2010, pictured right, is out on October 11 and features new track Shame.

К каждому фото музыкант разместил собственные комментарии. По его словам целью «собачьего эксперимента» было определение наиболее подходящего цвета волос для концертных париков. Защитники животных уже заинтересовались экспериментами Уильямса. Того и гляди, певцу придется доказывать, что собачки сами забрались ему на макушку.

Moscow|2003
"During the tour, I did a UNICEF trip to an orphanage. I sang for them and played the guitar - "Better Man", I think. Played football with them outside. Everybody was lovely but I remember just how harsh it all seemed. Also, it's tradition to have bread and salt, and they gave me some bread and a bowl of salt, and I put too much salt on the bread. It was just horrible. And I remember not being able to spit it out or eat it, because my mouth was too dry, so I was in a bit of a two-and-eight about it. Eventually, I managed to dispose of it without offending anybody."

The ex-PM’s book was expected to be one of 2010’s best-sellers but it is turning off readers.

Instead they are buying double the number of copies of Robbie’s You Know Me.

Tesco is exclusively selling the book, which follows Robbie’s time in Take That, his solo career and returning to play with the band.

Tesco’s Garry Blackman said: “Robbie is a national treasure.”
