Pop legend Robbie Williams has revealed the 'thing that would destroy him' in a new Netflix documentary series about the singer.
The intriguing teaser trailer, released earlier this week, shows a candid Williams reflecting on his path to becoming one of Britain's most-loved chart acts. In it he reveals "the thing that would destroy me has also made me successful ... Big. More. Touch the fire. Touch the button. Push when it says 'pull'.
He goes on to explain: "All of those things have given me my career, but there is also a detrimental side to it too. Just depends which wolf you feed."
The sneak peek, which you can view above, also also captures the Angels singer looking emotional onstage, as well as several snippets of behind-the-scenes footage. The new four-part documentary promises to go into great detail about Williams' high-profile struggles with addiction through to his recovery, as well as his breakup with Take That - and triumphant reunion - using new interviews and archive footage.
The as-yet untitled series will be out later this year, and fans are eager to watch the show on the streaming site when it does finally drop. @CryptoDoc84 tweeted: "Wow. Cant wait to see this..." while @RGehalot14 wrote on X, formerly Twitter: "I'm too excited, waiting for it."

Robbie Williams rose to fame as a singer in Take That. The band formed in 1990 in Manchester. Williams left the boyband in 1995, leaving the rest of the group to finish their world tour. They then split up in 1996 before eventually reforming in 2005.
Williams went on to have a highly successful solo career, releasing singles such as Angels and Rock DJ. In 2003, he performed to 375,000 people over three days at Knebworth Park, he biggest music event in British history.
But during his career, he has struggled with fame and addiction. He has previously admitted he went into rehab in 2007 after taking prescription and class A drugs.
