Robbie Williams being treated for depression
London, Sept 24: British pop star Robbie Williams who recently cancelled the Asian leg of his “Close Encounters” world tour, due to “stress and exhaustion”, is now being treated for depression. “He`s suffered from depression before but feels things are getting worse and the tour was too much,” the Mirror quoted a source close to him as saying. Robbie is being treated by Dr Mark Collins, a top expert at the Priory clinic in South West London. He also flew to California, where he lives, for various sessions. “He`s determined to get the very best treatment,” the source added. The 32-year-old is also under pressure after his comeback single ‘Rudebox’ flopped, and ex-manager Nigel Martin-Smith threatening to sue over a track on his new album in which he is called an “evil man”. Robbie has talked openly about depression, which he first admitted battling in 2002. “I could get up in front of 35,000 or 40,000 people and go, `Look at me, I`m ace!` Then as soon as I got off stage I`d get in the tour coach and go back to my bedroom and pull the duvet over my eyes,” he told Stephen Fry in a BBC documentary this month.
