I paid 1.5 million pounds to leave Take That: Robbie Williams

Singer Robbie Williams has revealed that he had to pay 1.5 million pounds to leave pop group Take That.
The 39-year-old singer originally left the boyband back in 1995 and explained that he was asked to leave before the date he stated he would go, reported Digital Spy.
"For reasons I can't go into because certain people like suing me - and they like winning - there was a big need for me to get out of my contract and out of that record company.
"I think I made a million or something in Take That and then it cost me a million and a half to get out of the deal. So as a 20-year-old I ended up coming out of Take That owing 500,000 pounds," he said.

Asked if he left the band of his own accord or if he was sacked, Williams said, "It was a bit of both. At the time I was drinking really heavily - and very young. I said to the boys, 'This will be my last tour.' We went for a curry the night before everything happened and we were taking a competition winner for a curry.
