Take That offer Robbie support
Take That have offered to lend their support to Robbie Williams after he recently checked into rehab.
The pop bad boy was admitted to a US clinic last week for addiction to prescription drugs.
Following his admittance, a number of stars lined up to mock Robbie including comedian Russell Brand and Oasis star Noel Gallagher.
Brand made light of Williams’ return to rehab during this year’s Brit Awards by joking that a giant padlock on stage was his medicine cabinet while Gallagher said: “If you take drugs, you end up in rehab unless you’re a rock like me – and then you just give them up.”
But Take That singer Mark Owen hit back and said their comments were uncalled for.
He said: “I felt bad at the Brits because there were some jokes said about Robbie that made it look like he was being mocked. When I heard about him checking into rehab I felt really sad – I just want him to get happy again.”
Fellow singer Howard Donald also said that he has tried to get into contact with his former bandmate.
