We all know that Robbie Williams has had his fair share of drug-tales over the years and the subsequent trips to rehab. Well, it all started a lot earlier than you think, way back when in The Potteries of Stoke.
In a blog on his website, Rob said: “It was at Shelleys (nightclub) where I had my first acid experience. We were in Golden Hill, in someone’s kitchen probably. I was given a tiny piece of paper to ingest. E’s were too expensive for the Potteries. £15 – who could afford that? There was a band called the Prodigy performing that night and I thought they were really good.
“Afterwards we drove up to the garage and the police were on the forecourt. Shit, I thought. I want to go home, I’m scared. There is only one place I want to be – at home with my mum."
When he got home?
"American footballs were coming out of the TV, so I decided to go downstairs and stab myself. Mum came out of her room and said, ‘What are you doing?’ “‘I’m just going downstairs to stab myself – do you want a cup of tea?’ I said.”
