Robbie quits road

Live: Robbie Williams | BBC Electric Proms, Roundhouse, London | Gig review

ROBBIE WILLIAMS reckons he has QUIT touring for good - because he ends up "in rehab or fat" after being on the road.

The singer, 35, reckons "the pressure got a bit much" on his last Rudebox tour.

Now he promises: "There's going to be no tour, I got really, really ill on the last tour." He is not in the good books of TAKE THAT pal MARK OWEN after ducking his wedding last week.

Robbie was informed months before Mark got hitched - but used a German TV commitment as an excuse.

Robbie explained: "I'm not very good in large crowds unless I'm at the front of them."

I remember our last close encounter at the Milton Keynes Bowl. It was extremely pleasant and I am very fond of He-Who-Entertains.

Good idea for Robbie to avoid touring.
good that he is listening to what his mind and body are telling.
He doesnt want to end up like Amy winehouse!
Listening to his new album is enough for me.
GOOD LUCK ROBBIE

Thank God for that - and I say that for his OWN good. Theres nothing Id love more than to see him in concert but its so obvious he hates touring, and if you put yourself in his place you can see why. He ought to do a few concerts here and there and where as and when he chooses. Im fed up with people asking him when hes going to tour again, as he must be, just because hes released a new album. Why should he, he doesnt need the money and I dont blame him whatsoever - because in his shoes Id feel exactly the same... Jane, Shoreham
