Robbie Williams

He has had a passion for UFO's and Extra Terrestrials ever since he was a child. His mother was a Tarrot Reader who kept books on the paranormal and he has admitted that the unknown sraced him. He claims to of seen at least 3 UFO's. The first was as a child in Britain - The second was at a Hotel in Beverly Hills and the third was from him Bedroom Balcony after he wrote a song about Alien Contact. His 2006 concert was based on UFO's and he called it the Close Encounters Concert.
Robbies last Stadium show was on the 18th December 2006 and he doesn't plan on releasing another album in the near future. He spends alot of his free time at Observatories in Arazona desert and conventions. However he doesn't spend all of his time doing this, he also enjoys writing songs and playing golf.

I have to admit i'm not much of a Robbie fan, but I really do admire him for standing up to what he believes in. Alot of people (partically papers) have been quite nasty about his decission to leave music for Ufology but he seems genuinally happy about choosing this path. He hasn't let anybody sway his decission and thats why I think he deserves to be on this page :-)
