‘BETTER MAN’, ROBBIE WILLIAMS’ MUSICAL BIOPIC IS RELEASED IN UK CINEMAS ON DECEMBER 26
Robbie Williams today announces the release of the ‘Better Man’ soundtrack album on Columbia Records. The album is available to pre-order now and will be released digitally on December 27 with a physical release to follow. Every pre-order of the ‘Better Man’ soundtrack from the official store, until 6PM next Tuesday 12th November, will include early access to the next Robbie Williams UK & EU tour (as yet unannounced) … more details coming soon.
The soundtrack announcement comes as fans eagerly await the release of Robbie’s musical biopic film ‘Better Man’ which hits UK cinemas on December 26 and sees Williams portrayed as a CGI monkey throughout… Based on the true story of Robbie’s life and directed by Michael Gracey (‘The Greatest Showman’), the film is uniquely told from Robbie’s perspective, capturing his signature wit and indomitable spirit. The film follows his journey from childhood, to being the youngest member of chart-topping boyband Take That, through to his unparalleled achievements as a record-breaking solo artist – all the while confronting the challenges that stratospheric fame and success can bring. Discussing the film, director Michael Gracey honed in on Robbie referring to himself as a monkey over and again. “Robbie would say things like, ‘I’m up the back dancing like a monkey.’ After a while, I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be amazing to represent Robbie as a monkey in the film?’ Because Robbie is telling this story – and that’s how he sees himself.”

Robbie is one of the most decorated music artists in the world with six of the Top 100 best-selling albums in British history, a huge 85 million album sales worldwide, 14 UK Number 1 albums and a record 18 BRIT Awards – more than any other artist. In July he returned to BST Hyde Park in London for a critically-acclaimed and sold-out headline show. In November 2023 Netflix released Robbie’s highly-anticipated four-part documentary series, titled ‘Robbie Williams’ which hit the Netflix Number 1 spot in 22 different countries. Robbie has raised £106 million to date for charity worldwide since co-founding Soccer Aid for UNICEF in 2006.
