That's the foreword, in its entirety, of Robbie Williams's Let Me Entertain You, a bright, colourful and frank-talking 96-page hardcover about the former Take That lad.
Williams is now a credible star in his own right. His forthcoming Irish gigs - January 28th to 30th in Dublin, February 1st and 2nd in Belfast - have long since been sell-outs.
Written with Jim Parton and published by Virgin, the book addresses the constraints of life in a boy band, the drink and drug daze that followed and his motivations as a solo performer. It also includes more than 100 photographs of this pose-happy young man.
Let Me Entertain You is available to 20 lucky media scope readers. All you have to do is tear out this coupon and send it, with your name and address, to Robbie Williams Offer, Arts Dept, The Irish Times, D'Olier Street, Dublin 2. We'll pull 20 from the post-bag next Wednesday, November 24th, and send books out to the winners.
