Who Is Chris Shanrock?

Last week Noel confirmed that Zak has left the band at that former La's drummer Chris Shanrock is taking over.

Here are a few facts about him...

Chris Sharrock is the power behind Robbie Williams and has without doubt established an international reputation as a leading drummer with one of the top pop acts in the world.

Since his career began over two decades ago, Chris has built up an impressive back catalogue which includes playing on the first real Britpop classic, There She Goes by The La’s and recording one of the most popular songs of the 90’s, Three Lions On A Shirt.



Chris has also worked with Karl Wallinger & World Party, The Lightening Seeds, Terry Hall, Dave Stewart and Lou Reed before getting the esteemed Robbie Williams gig.

Chris began working with Robbie in 1997 and performed on his triple platinum debut solo album “Life Thru A Lens”. Since then Chris has gone on to perform at some of the biggest live concerts in recent years including Robbie’s three consecutive shows at Knebworth, England where the band perfomed to over 375,000 fans. Chris was also involved in the first ever televised High Definition live performance with Robbie in September 2006.
