Robbie Williams lifts lid on vicious 90s Britpop spat with Suedes Bernard Butler
Before Brangelina: Pitt and Jolie’s earlier relationships
Here’s some nice 1990s nostalgia from Robbie Williams, who has reignited a 25-year-old Britpop spat.
Rob claims he has had the last laugh after his pleas to work with Suede’s Bernard Butler and his former collaborator David McAlmont in the mid 90s were met with “disdain”.
Robbie fell in love with their hit Yes as he left Take That in the summer of 1995.
He describes the track as one of his favourite songs of all time and says it “never fails to move me”.
Robbie’s calls to work with the hitmakers were politely rejected, but he recalls later reading an interview where one of the pair was “full of disdain” at being asked to work with him.
“It said, ‘Do I want a million pounds in the bank, or do I want an interesting life?’” says annoyed Robbie.
“I went on to sell 85 million albums,” he boasts, adding the songwriter was left “somewhere eating his own s—”.
Bernard once reportedly referred to Robbie as “the bastard offspring of Bob Monkhouse”, prompting Robbie to approach him when they bumped into each other at a recording studio.
“You are a f—— c—,” Rob reportedly informed him. They don’t make pop spats like they used to.
