Robbie Williams has suffered from long Covid and has needed to take a break during shows.

Robbie Williams needed to catch his breath during his performance at this year's Pinkpop Festival. The former Take That singer, 49, was performing alongside the likes of Pink and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and had already gone through three songs but when he started his fourth song, he suddenly stopped.

He explained that the break was due to the lasting effects of long Covid and said to the crowd, "No, stop stop. I'm f****d. I'm f****d. It's long Covid, I've got long Covid. It's not my f*****g age, you f*****s."

Thankfully, he was able to continue his full set uninterrupted and even performed a headline set at this year's Isle Of Wight Festival. During his performance, he spoke about his time with iconic pop band Take That and the effects it had on his mental health, as well as his struggles with depression and addiction.

Robbie also paid tribute to his wife Ayda Field and his dedicated fanbase for getting him through his troubles and described how the love of his fans helped him battle the voice telling him "you're not good enough."
