WILLIAMS: 'I WAS NEVER GOING TO MAKE COOL MUSIC'
Pop superstar ROBBIE WILLIAMS has defended his ''un-credible'' music, because he is staying loyal to his roots.

The FEEL singer admits he could never have performed in an acclaimed rock band, because he spent so much time watching cabaret acts in his youth.
The British star explains, "I'm never going to be RADIOHEAD or MUSE or whoever - I'm Robbie Williams.
"To the six million people who keep buying my records, I'm the best thing out there. But there's a whole group of people who think I'm a joke, that I am some end-of-the-pier entertainer, which I am.
"I was brought up on holiday camps. My father is a cabaret artist - in the 1980s I saw shed-loads of cabaret. It's where I grew up, that's where I learnt my craft, so that's what I am.
"I'd be an entertainment manager in Caernarfon Bay (in Wales) if I hadn't written ANGELS. Some people will look at that and go, 'Well that's un-credible, and comes from a naff place.' Yeah we do! That's where we come from.
"That's where I come from. I'm not THOM YORKE. Don't know where he went on holiday, he probably went to museums and burlesque theatre or something."
