It was only recently that it was revealed football icon David Beckham was named in the King&#8217;s Birthday Honours list, making him a Sir and his wife, Victoria, a Lady.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">And now, there are calls for Angels singer Robbie, who has 15 chart-topping records and seven number one singles as a solo artist, to become a Sir as well. It would be up to an honours committee, which will then send a shortlist of recommendations to Prime Minister Keir Starmer before King Charles signs it off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">The 51-year-old Port Vale fan &#8211; who grew up in Burslem and Tunstall &#8211; created Soccer Aid in 2006, which has raised \u00a3106 million for Unicef over the years. He has been an ambassador for the charity since 2000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">He has also been the Patron of the children&#8217;s charity the Donna Louise Trust since 2002. The charity provides palliative care to terminally-ill children or youngster with life-limiting illnesses in North Staffordshire who are not expected to live past 16.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Robbie has been involved in many Comic Relief events and is also a patron for Music Support, a registered charity that helps peers who work in the UK music industry experiencing substance use, addiction and\/or mental health challenges.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Radio star Scott Mills also supported the idea of Robbie getting a knighthood. Speaking to <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/tvandshowbiz\/35685909\/robbie-williams-nominated-knighthood-sir\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"The SunLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">The Sun<\/a>, he said: &#8220;Let\u2019s not forget, he\u2019s the most decorated Brits winner in history. I think we should celebrate and acknowledge how much joy he has brought.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">\u201cHe deserves it. Not only for his contribution to music, but also for fighting his demons in the public eye and coming out the other side.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Robbie might have already seen his future as a Sir, as he previously claimed he has psychic powers. The Let Me Entertain You singer said he doesn&#8217;t think the strange happenings are coincidences, as they occur too frequently.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Speaking on the <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com\/?id=76202X1526515&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fpodcasts.apple.com%2Fus%2Fpodcast%2Fweaponized-with-jeremy-corbell-george-knapp%2Fid1664299388&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mirror.co.uk%2F3am%2Fcelebrity-news%2Frobbie-williams-claims-psychic-powers-34734573&amp;xcust=xid:fr1751569692563bde\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"WeaponizedLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Weaponized<\/a> podcast, he shared: &#8220;You think of people and they phone. You think of people and they email. A lot of this could be coincidence. But the rate that it is happening just recently, oh wow, you&#8217;ve got my attention.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">He also opened up about his belief in extra-terrestrial life and how he thought he saw two UFOs flying over LA 20 years ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">He claimed the unidentified flying object was so close he could have hit it with &#8220;a tennis ball&#8221; &#8211; and said he wasn&#8217;t under the influence of any substances at the time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Another occasion, while writing the song Arizona, which is about alien contact, a &#8220;gold ball of light&#8221; appeared in the studio when his song was playing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \"><a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stokesentinel.co.uk\/newsletter-preference-centre\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Get daily headlines and breaking news emailed to you - it\u2019s FREELink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Get daily headlines and breaking news emailed to you &#8211; it\u2019s FREE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robbie Williams has reportedly been nominated for a knighthood for his contribution to music as well as his&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":236073,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3940],"tags":[4080,92215,109,77,2620,39245,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-236072","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-comic-relief","10":"tag-david-beckham","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-robbie-williams","13":"tag-stoke","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114792148828762120","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236072","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=236072"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236072\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/236073"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=236072"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=236072"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=236072"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
