Robbie Williams: 'It depends what drugs are out there'

Hitmaker and winner of the BRIT Awards' Icon prize Robbie Williams has revealed that modern pop stars are much more reserved and well-behaved than those in his day. 

He told Britain's NME magazine that the 90s scene was completely different to that of today and he joked that he feels a little out of touch: "We were a different breed back then [in the 90s] - cussing and dissing and needing to say things in order to be interesting. I don't think people do that now."

"It was expected of everybody to be drunk and off their face on cocaine. People don't do that now - it seems so f***ing weird... If people did that now, it would just look a bit sad. I think it just depends what drugs are out there at the time. What's out there at the moment? Ketamine? Or am I out of date on that?"

He added: "I like to entertain. I do have limited creative skills and I find myself saying things that, on later inspection, I probably wouldn't have said. I'm just trying to be funny all the time. There are so many boring pH7 neutral artists out there that it's not difficult standing out."
