Williams Won’t Tour
By WENNMonday, October 5, 2009
British singer ROBBIE WILLIAMS is refusing to embark on a tour to seal his comeback - because his last trek sent him into a rehabilitation centre.
The Angels hitmaker hit the road in the U.K. three years ago on his Close Encounters tour, promoting his 2006 record Rudebox.
He was forced to scrap a string of shows in Asia shortly afterwards due to exhaustion - and he doesn’t plan to repeat the experience any time soon.
Williams says, “I cannot imagine touring again in the near future. I’ve smashed my head against a wall too many times. I know it’s harder than I am.
“I felt great when I started to promote a record but it soon began to kill me. I felt worse when on tour. I suffered a nervous breakdown and checked into rehab.”
