In a heartfelt social media post over the weekend, pop star Robbie Williams shared with fans an update on the deteriorating health of his parents and his mother-in-law.
Robbie Williams recently posted a candid health update on both his parents and his mother-in-law. The former Take That star, who is currently on a Britpop stadium tour, revealed that his mum who suffers with dementia is unable to recognise him now.
He continued, citing the fact that his father, who he has credited with fostering his love of music, has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and is currently unable to leave the house.
Additionally, his mother-in-law battles Parkinson’s, Lupus, and cervical cancer simultaneously. The pop star, who is on tour and is dealing with a virus, wrote: “Things at home with my parents” in a protracted emotional post. VERY fragile at this very moment.
He added: “It’s real world stuff that deeply affects me and my wife. And if my wife is affected, you can bet I am. So the maths are: Virus + ill parents + stadium tour.”
The star who shot to fame in the nineties, alongside Gary Barlow, Jason Orange, Mark Owen and Howard Donald, continued: “Every single moment of every single day is in preparation for those 2+ hours on stage. “
He remarked, “Outside of that, too? ” I don’t have anything. Nothing is available. I don’t mind telling those around me that I need to be protected. And I give them protection.
He assured viewers that he would be “on top of his game,” but that he had nothing to offer or give for the time being. He also assured them of his commitment to making each show as amazing as the other.
His sincere and sincere statement comes after he recently paid tribute to his family on stage and said he “isn’t ready for it” in reference to his mother’s inability to remember him.
He told the crowd, “My mother has dementia, and she is no longer aware of who I am. She is unsure of her current location. My father is unable to leave the house because of Parkinson’s.
He continued, “He used to sing with me every night on stage, he would steal the show, be charming, and then wander backstage for a glass of red wine.”
He can’t leave the house right now, Robbie said. My mother-in-law has three illnesses, which I adore and worship all the time.
She supports cancer, Parkinson’s, and lupus. She is the most iloquent woman, and he said, “She is fighting, fighting, fighting.”
He said to the audience, “It’s a strange place to be, this place we find ourselves, 51 years old, it’s very strange to be the grown up,” and finished his remarks. I’m not prepared for it.
