"Old Before I Die" is a 1997 song by Robbie Williams, and the first single to be taken from his debut album, Life Thru A Lens. It became a top two hit in the United Kingdom when it was released in April that year.
The video has Williams performing for the camera with ageing rock stars as his backing band, and some fade-ins by the cameraman. There are also shots of Robbie flying through the air.
It is also of popular belief that rival Noel Gallagher had written the song (along with Angels) for Robbie, before the major fallout between Robbie and the Gallagher brothers. It is popularly recognized as the kind of song that Noel would write, and Robbie sings it in the recogniseable style of Liam Gallagher.
