Robbie Williams News: Gossips

Robbie Williams says he’s okay, despite reports that he is suffering from depression after cancelling the Asian leg of his world tour due to exhaustion. The singer says: “I’m okay. I’m exhausted and haven’t been home for ten months because of my tour and promoting my album. It’s all got too much for me and I have been told to rest for two weeks. My South American tour is coming up and I want to be ready for that.”

A so-called ‘friend’ told the News of the World: “He’s not the first or the last person to go through this and is feeling fragile. But he wants to finish the tour and when he wants to do something he makes it happen.”

Perhaps that depression has something to do with Tara Palmer-Tomkinson. As you may remember, the singer was reportedly having a bit of a thing with TPT, and we know for certain he recently had a cup of tea with her. Perhaps it was a bad cup of tea. A bad cup of tea can put me off my stride, that’s for sure.

Tara, told The Daily Mirror: “Yes we did meet last week. Robbie came to my flat for some tea. He was so exhausted. He has been doing so many tours it’s taken it out of him.”

ROBBIE Williams is being treated for depression, the Daily Mirror can reveal. The condition – which the troubled star, 32, has battled before – may help explain why he suddenly axed the Asian leg of his world tour this month. Although the official reason given was that he had “stress and exhaustion”, insiders say he has sunk to a new low. A source close to him revealed: “He’s suffered from depression before but feels things are getting worse and the tour was too much.” Robbie is being treated by Dr Mark Collins, a top expert at the Priory clinic in South West London. The star has even flown him to California, where he lives, for sessions. The source added: “He’s determined to get the very best treatment.”

The news comes as he has struggled in the charts and been hit by legal disputes. Comeback single Rudebox flopped and ex-manager Nigel Martin-Smith is threatening to sue over a track on his new album in which he is called an “evil man”. Robbie has talked openly about depression, which he first admitted battling in 2002. In a BBC documentary this month he told Stephen Fry: “I could get up in front of 35,000 or 40,000 people and go, ‘Look at me, I’m ace!’ “Then as soon as I got off stage I’d get in the tour coach and go back to my bedroom and pull the duvet over my eyes.”

Doctors may have given British singer Robbie Williams strict orders to rest, but he’s already planning to hit the road.

Williams, who recently admitted that he was suffering from depression, has reportedly told pals that he is “okay”, and that after a two-week pit stop, he would be getting ready to perform at his South American tour. “I’m okay. I’m exhausted and haven’t been home for ten months because of my tour and promoting my album. It’s all got too much for me and I have been told to rest for two weeks. My South American tour is coming up and I want to be ready for that,” the News of the World quoted him, as telling pals. Williams’ six day long South American tour takes place next month in October, a time when his new album RudeBox is also released. A pal revealed that though Williams was feeling “fragile”, he was still determined to go through with the tour. “He’s not the first or the last person to go through this and is feeling fragile. But he wants to finish the tour and when he wants to do something he makes it happen,” the friend said. Williams was forced to cancel the Asian leg of his “Close Encounters” world tour due to “stress and exhaustion”, but is determined not to let the same happen to his South American tour.

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.
