Robbie Williams shares concerning news about parents' health
The former Take That singer is currently in the middle of his UK tour.
Sharing an update on his own health, Williams reported: "Well, I've been ill with some sort of virus for a couple of weeks, which is making me feel very weak. It's par for the course on tours. Everyone gets something."
He then shared: "Things at home with my parents? Very precarious right now. 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."
Williams previously announced that his mother, Janet, had been diagnosed with dementia in November 2024.
Earlier this week, the Angels singer told The Sun: "My mother has dementia and she doesn't know who I am anymore. She doesn't know where she is anymore."
He also revealed his father, Pete, has Parkinson's disease and struggles to be as social as he once was.
"He used to sing with me every night on stage, he would come out, steal the show and be charming and then wander backstage for a glass of red wine. Now he can't leave the house."

Woman Says Her Husband Made a ‘Strange' Comment to Her Female Friend — But He Says She's ‘Reading' into It ‘Too Much'
"He says I'm reading too much into it and he was just trying to be friendly as he could see my friend was upset," the woman said of her husband A woman is unsure if she's overreacting after her husband made a 'strange' comment to her female friend. In a post on Mumsnet's 'Am I Being Unreasonable?' forum, the woman explained that she recently had her best friend over for dinner while her husband was out with friends. 'My friend had been upset while talking with me about some relationship issues, one of which related to trying for a child,' the woman said, adding that the friend's husband often says he is too 'tired' from work to try to conceive. The original poster (OP) said that her own husband then came home and that it was 'clear that my friend had been crying.' She said her husband asked the friend what was wrong, and she explained that she 'was upset about not being pregnant yet, and that her [husband] was often giving reasons not to try.' The OP said that this was when her husband made the questionable comment. She recalled that he told her friend something along the lines of, '[Your husband] must be crazy,' and that he was 'surprised' that the other man wasn't taking the opportunity to have lots of 'fun' with her. 'This might be my insecurity, but I don't think [my husband] should have said what he did,' the OP said. 'I have spoken to him, and he says I'm reading too much into it and he was just trying to be friendly as he could see my friend was upset." In a follow-up comment, the woman said that the most recent comment came after a past incident in which her husband once asked her to wear an outfit that he saw the same friend wearing, as it would 'really turn him on.' 'He was drunk and apologized profusely in the following days. But it did make me think he finds my friend attractive,' she added. 'Now I don't know if I'm overreacting,' the woman confessed. The OP's post sparked a debate among her fellow Mumsnet users. Some commenters said they felt the comment was relatively innocuous and that she should try not to overthink it. 'I think he just didn't know what to say and felt awkward when he walked into [the conversation], so he made a light-hearted comment about it [...]. He was probably trying to make her feel better or make her smile. Yeah, it probably was a bit inappropriate, but I doubt he meant any harm by it,' one person said. 'Your [husband] was probably embarrassed to be faced with a tearful woman and gave a clumsy reply. I wouldn't be upset. Sounds like her [husband] is an a--, and your [husband] was trying to make her feel better,' another wrote. Other commenters, however, said that they thought what the husband said crossed a line. 'Inappropriate and icky,' said one person. 'He's 100% got a crush on your friend,' added someone else. A third person said, 'You're right, he massively overstepped. And considering he already told you you should dress like your friend as it turned him on, he definitely fancies her.' Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword
