The best song of the last 25 years was inspired by a gold-plated statue above Burslem town hall - or at least that's what Robbie Williams' mum reckons. Responding to those who say Robbie's award-winning track 'Angels' is about her and how she helped her son beat drugs and alcohol, the singer's mother has said she's sure the song is about the statue in the Staffordshire town, which was opposite the house where he grew up. According to the Sun she said: "When he went to bed he'd look at it and say his guardian angel was looking after him. It was lovely. I'm sure it was on his mind as he wrote the lyrics."
Meanwhile,
Robbie has somewhat stated the obvious about the song that won him the Best Song Of The Last 25 Years title at the Brits on me who I am. It gave me a career. I was going nowhere until that song came out."
