London, Sept 18: Friends close to Robbie Williams fear for the star’s health after he cancelled the Asian leg of his world tour.

Robbie’s Close Encounters tour was supposed to include gigs at Shanghai, Bangkok, Hong Kong and Singapore.

But a statement from his management said: “It became clear that the stress and exhaustion from the Asian tour coming shortly after the end of the European dates would seriously impact his health.”

“Let’s hope he gets over this hurdle. He obviously can’t go on and is very stressed and exhausted,” an insider was quoted by the Newsoftheworld, as saying.

“He was out of control, touching up the backing singers and making a pass at the keyboard player. You could see it all on the big screen,” he added.

Robbie is also in the middle of a high-pressured battle with ex-manager Nigel Martin- Smith which is no doubt adding to the star’s stress.
