By the way, great to see you sharing your comments (+ experiences from the PI forum).

When the line parts we see an island on the life line, to me denoting illness of his - this could range from glandular fever to ???   So the parting of ways could have been exarcebated by this illness. Even though I have read his childhood wasn't particularly happy that doesn't mean that the family had little influence.
I found it interesting that his life line doesn't belong to an extrovert, even though that's the way he appeared to so many people. He was in fact relatively an introvert, at least on his right hand, coming out of himself somewhat more after parting with his family of origin. His right hand indicates a need for family as a unit.

I could be wrong but I think Martin's research into introversion & extraversion indicates that the joined head and life lines are part of extraversion. So this would be consistent with Williams being a great performer. Martijn, please correct me if I am wrong.

Correct indeed!   

PS. In my study I not only found that a disconnected head line is more common in introverts, it also represents a feature that expresses a significant relationship with other hand factors (which express a dominant radial side of the hand).
