Alien ideas

This story will certainly seem out of the world to most normal people. But singer Robbie Williams has always tread the atypical path.

Last year the pop star splashed out ufffd8 million on a seven-bedroom home that was supposedly frequented by aliens. But now that there haven't been any supernatural visitations, Robbie is selling the house at a ufffd600,000 loss. We give you more dope on the singer:u00a0

*u00a0Robbie claims to have spotted three UFOs in his lifetime. He is very fascinated by aliens and X Files happens to be his favourite TV series.

*u00a0In 1990, sixteen-year-old Robbie was the youngest member to join the music group Take That. Prior to becoming a singer, Robbie wanted to be an actor.

*u00a0Robbie eventually quit Take That as he wanted to experiment with different genres, and not stick to just romantic ballads that the band specialised in.

*u00a0Robbie was about to be dropped by his record company in 1997 because none of his numbers till then had done well on the charts. But they decided to give him one last chance with his single Angels. Fortunately for Robbie, the song became a smash hit. Since then, he's had a very successful solo career.

*u00a0Robbie entered the Guinness Book of World Records by selling more than 1.6 million tickets in just one day.
