Music journalist Richard Benson on the dark, compelling pop star, his troubled relationship with fame and money, and why he's as musically important as Kurt Cobain, Noel Gallagher or Thom Yorke
Music journalist Richard Benson on the dark, compelling pop star, his troubled relationship with fame and money, and why he’s as musically important as Kurt Cobain, Noel Gallagher or Thom Yorke, and had just had their first top-five hit, but they were a long way from being mobbed in the street. Journalists were encouraged to direct questions to Gary, but Robbie had a strong, somewhat dark presence that commanded attention.
Take That in 1990. Richard Benson remembers journalists being encouraged to talk to Gary Barlow, even though it was Robbie commanding the attention “I disliked Gary the most because he was the one that was supposed to have everything and the career,” he tells his ten-year old daughter Theodora Rose in the documentary. “And I wanted to make him pay. I was vengeful. By having the career that he was supposed to have.”
Robbie always talked, slightly scathingly, about the media being like a game then. The problem that lay in store was that the mid-1990s was when the tabloids realised just how many sales there were in pop and rock; when he fell from grace, they wouldn’t be able to resist. It seemed that he’d gone right off the rails that summer, hanging out with indie bands and enjoying all the associated lifestyle trappings. My editor persuaded him to do an interview with us, and after an afternoon drinking with him, Bonehead and Guigsy from Oasis, and Ant and Dec , she said he’d told her what he really wanted was to go home to his mum.
