Robbie Williams had ‘blood’ on BRAIN in mystery illness

Robbie Williams has revealed doctors found what looked like blood on his brain, forcing him to spend seven days in intensive care.

The 43-year-old cancelled his final two European tour dates in September after falling seriously ill and being rushed to hospital.

The Angels singer explained that he was left terrified when he ‘couldn’t stop dribbling’, his left arm went numb and he struggled to breathe while backstage in Zurich.

‘I had a headache and I was also having trouble breathing. I couldn’t get a full breath,’ he added to The Sun. 

A doctor was called but told the singer he could still play the show on September 2 during his Heavy Entertainment Show tour. 

But after the performance, he was still dribbling and his arm was still numb so he was flown to London for emergency tests.

‘I had blood tests done, and I had various scans including ones of my heart and my brain, and there were some abnormalities found, including something on my brain that looked like blood.

‘That was obviously very scary, so the decision was taken out of my hands and I was sent straight to the intensive care unit.’

It comes after Robbie said on his YouTube channel in October that he was struck down with a ‘very worrying ailment’ that forced him to be admitted to ICU.

Addressing his fans from the garden of his Los Angeles home, he explained: ‘How am I is really good. I’ve been recovering from an illness now for the last five weeks.’ 

He continued: ‘Unfortunately, that illness kicked in just at the end of my tour, a tour which was going so well.

He added: ‘The audiences were incredible, I was okay, the band was amazing, I was a soldier and I needed to finish that tour and I needed to go to Moscow and I needed to go to St. Petersburg and then I got some test results.

‘They were very worrying and I ended up in ICU (Intensive Care Unit), so I couldn’t go. I haven’t pulled out of a tour for bad health since 1998 so you know if I can’t do it then there’s something going on that I just can’t do it.’

He captioned the video ‘Thank you so much’ as he expressed his gratitude to fans and their well wishes in recent times.

The father-of-two alarmed fans last month when he cancelled the final two shows on the European leg of his Heavy Entertainment Show tour after being struck down with an illness.

The former Take That star withdrew from concerts at St. Petersburg’s Ice Palace and Moscow’s Olympic Stadium on September 7 and 10 respectively, with rescheduled dates yet to be announced.

‘Due to illness the final two dates of the European leg of The Heavy Entertainment Show Tour, St. Petersburg and Moscow, have been cancelled,’ a spokesperson confirmed at the time.

The withdrawals came shortly after Robbie spoke about the perils of fame, sensationally disclosing that he thinks his job could ‘kill him.’ 

Speaking to The Sunday Times Magazine, the British hitmaker discussed his struggles with being in the spotlight – admitting that it was ‘bad for his health’ and touched upon his battle with depression.  

Speaking to the publication, Robbie, who is married to Ayda Field, revealed: ‘This job is really bad for my health. It’s going to kill me. Unless I view it in a different way.’

‘[Depression] sprints through my family. I don’t know if I’d be this mentally ill without fame. I don’t think it would be as gross or as powerful if it hadn’t have been for fame,’ the Angel hit-maker, who is currently touring Australia, continued.

Honestly speaking about his experiences, Robbie revealed: ‘You get a magnifying glass in the shape of the world’s attention and your defects will obviously magnify too.’

Last year, he also came clean with his battle with his demons as he appeared on ITV’s Loose Women.

The musician described how wife Ayda – turned around his life before he broke down over a video of his daughter singing a song he wrote about his children.

‘[Depression and anxiety] didn’t exist when I was battling it – thankfully we’re in brand new times now and it’s talked about – it’s not ‘poopooed’ any more. I felt more and more isolated because I was told to just get on with it.’

The musician admitted that he’s still plagued by the insecurities that he battled during his time in Take That but he will always be open with his children about his personal struggles.

‘I didn’t know what was going on, I didn’t know there was something going on and something to say.

‘You don’t know to label it as anxiety and depression and I went on the roller coaster ride of drugs and drink.

‘My hedonism was way too much for this planet and I wanted to stay here so I had to say something.

‘I went to rehab a couple of times and done a lot of therapy and me masking or meditating it led to a lot of bad things. I nearly was no longer here.’ 

Asked whether he could do any drugs safely, he told the Radio Times last year: ‘Yep! I’m not searching to do anything. But I definitely can’t drink. I definitely can’t do coke. I can’t do ecstasy. And I don’t fancy heroin.’

Robbie first hit fame with boyband Take That, which sold 10million albums in the 1990s, before he left the group after tensions with Gary Barlow.
