What is the Robbie Williams Netflix documentary about?

Here is the official synopsis from Netflix: "Robbie Williams is one of the world’s greatest entertainers. As he approaches 50, a dad of four with a loving wife and a young family, he’s also somewhere near content. Been there, done that, settled and happy.

"But Robbie can’t escape his past — and his past has all been captured on film in thousands of hours of behind-the-scenes footage he has never seen. Until now.

"Robbie’s way of exorcising his demons is to go back through every single frame, every up and every down. Platinum albums, sell out gigs, adoring crowds; drink, drugs, rock bottom and whatever comes next when you get there and you can’t stop digging. This is a story of unimaginable fame at a tender age — and the price you pay."

Here are the song lyrics to Robbie William's song Angel according to Genius:

Verse 1

I sit and wait

Does an angel contemplate my fate?

And do they know the places where we go

When we're grey and old?

'Cause I've been told

That salvation lets their wings unfold

So when I'm lying in my bed

Thoughts running through my head

And I feel that love is dead

I'm lovin' angels instead Chorus

And through it all

She offers me protection

A lot of love and affection

Whether I'm right or wrong

And down the waterfall

Wherever it may take me

I know that life won't break me

When I come to call

She won't forsake me

I'm lovin' angels instead

Verse 2

When I'm feeling weak

And my pain walks down a one-way street

I look above

And I know I'll always be blessed with love

And as the feeling grows

She breathes flesh to my bones

And when love is dead

I'm lovin' angels instead
