Take That: Robbie Williams Gives
WHAT a pity Robbie Williams didn’t join his former Take That mates on stage at Wembley last night. What a fitting gesture that would have been for the King of Self-Pity to honour the memory of the Queen of Hearts.
Still, despite not making it to the Diana concert, our national treasure has once again revealed his charitable side, this time in the welcomed form of a £1.5million donation to a Stoke-on-Trent charity.
The LA-based superstar donated the cash to the Give It Sum charity he set up with Comic Relief, with youngsters battling drink and drug problems expected to benefit from the cash injection.
The 33-year former addict says: “I’m glad the little help I give can raise the profile of things like this. I want to be more active in and around Stoke-on-Trent – the place I live and where I’ll eventually return to.”
According to the Mirror, Williams has now given a total of £3million to charity, with the hand-written lyrics to his smash-hit Angels, raising £27,000 alone.
The lyrics to Rudebox raised, a rumoured, 50p.

I cannot imagine for one minute that Rob would have been invited to join Take That on stage at the Diana concert. Mr Barlow would not have been happy to share the limelight with him at all. Everything changes but….him.
Wasn’t too impressed with their performance but thought Tom Jones rocked…would definitely liked to have seen Rob perform a couple of songs with him as they have done in the past…surprised Tom’s not playing for LA Vale…or am I. Take care X

I’m sorry but Robbie is a self indulgent loony. I gave 50p to a beggar on the train today.

I think you should leave robbie alone and stop slagging him off, if he had joined take that last night then he would have been criticised as trying to get fame from them. He can’t win no matter what he does, pray to god you don’t ever get depressed or people might start attacking you. I know all about depression I had a brother who sufferd from it and it doesn’t matter whether you have money or not its an illness. Try and consider peoples feelings for a change. Robbie kept true to his fans while the rest of them went about there lives no one asked them to split up, so stop blaming Robbie for their split, the reason why they have become successful again is partly because of Robbie keeping the take that memories alive and partly because of Simon Cowell giving them slots on prime time telly such as dancing on ice, x facter and an audience with. Most other groups could have a great come back if they were able to do this. So give Robbie a break, what have you given to charity.
