Robbie Williams’ self-titled documentary will be airing on Netflix very soon, with it taking a look at his solo career, personal life and addiction issues.

The four-part limited series will see the 49-year-old open up about his past and give a personal behind-the-scenes look at his life.

It uses hundreds of hours of never-before-seen archival footage as well as interviews with Williams himself.

Williams first found success with Take That, joining the band at the age of just 16 in 1990 and was responsible for some of the biggest hits of the 1990s and 2000s whilst at the same time battling with mental health issues and addiction.

Did Robbie Williams go to rehab for addiction issues?

Robbie Williams has been open about his problems with drugs and alcohol in the past, with his struggles beginning just before he left Take That in 1995.

Speaking on the Bought The T-Shirt podcast, he said: “I took drugs to fill in the blanks.

“When fame came to me at a very early age, I was 16 when I joined Take That, it magnified all of the negative aspects of who I thought I was.

"Before that I was quite content but I was vulnerable and incredibly sensitive."

He eventually went into rehab in 2007 after taking prescription drugs and class A drugs, The Mirror reported.

Williams added: "Where I am now as a 46-year-old is content. There’s no binge.

"The last bastion of negative addictions for me that I can’t cope with is food, and I’m getting that down, I’m managing that, I’m managing that addiction."
