Robbie Williams has revealed he wants to get in on the Berlin club scene, revealing plans to open a music venue and art gallery "a bit like Berghain" in the German capital.

Speaking to the German Press Agency, he said: “I'm going to start a band and be a DJ and want to rent a space in Berlin, a gallery with my art, and in the evening it will be a club.”

Berghain is currently open as an art gallery while clubbing has been halted by the pandemic.
