90s music legend leaves restaurant stunned after blowing hundreds on luxury sushi order after epic UK gigs

BACK in his Nineties pomp, Robbie Williams was fuelled by a diet of drugs and alcohol.
Nowadays things are very different – with the teetotaller instead preferring to gorge on high-class sushi to get through his gigs.
I've been told Robbie splashed ­hundreds of pounds on fancy nosh from Bath's Robun ­restaurant ahead of his two shows in the city over the weekend.
He put in one order for ­himself and his crew on ­Friday afternoon for a feast including salmon sashimi, abura-age tofu nigiri and vegetable ­futomaki.
And the Let Me Entertain You singer loved the ­Japanese restaurant – which features in the Michelin Guide – so much that he put in a second order, worth a hefty £278, the following day.
Robbie played to sell-out crowds at the city's Royal Crescent, with a total of 30,000 fans watching him across the two nights.
A source said: 'The order was put in under Robbie's name, but a member of his crew came to collect it.
"Robbie and his whole team really enjoyed the food.'
A spokesman for the ­restaurant said: 'We did receive a significant special order for collection on both Friday and Saturday.'
You can't blame the star for treating himself to a healthy dinner before smashing it on stage.
And all that fancy grub frankly sounds far ­better than my basic Itsu order.
DEMI THE NEWLYWET
MARRIED life looks good on newlywed Demi Lovato, as she sported striped swimmers for a honeymoon dip in the sea.
Demi, who tied the knot last month in California, is holidaying with musician partner Jordan Lutes – who performs under the name Jutes – on French Polynesian paradise isle Bora Bora.

Judging by her Instagram photos, they had the best time ever. It looked like she practically lived in a bikini the entire time – including when they hired jetskis.
They also enjoyed a romantic dinner on the beach, as each of them wore floral garlands.
Here's hoping real life back home in the States will be just as fun.
KELLY: 'THERE'S NO JUNK IN MY TRUNK ON TOUR'
STEREOPHONICS frontman Kelly Jones has revealed he's axed junk food and booze from his tour rider – after his jeans stopped fitting.
The Handbags And Gladrags singer told Bizarre he's now more likely to ask for some weights to pump iron than lager and pizza.

Speaking ahead of the band's Isle of Wight lead festival slot this weekend Kelly, inset, said: 'The Nineties were crazy – a totally different social situation. It's like another planet now.
'I think there are some things on our rider that are still the same as back then – because nobody has bothered to change it.
'There's always beer and wine. It used to be 12 boxes of pizza and a crate of lager. But when your jeans stop fitting you, you've got to get that right – those requests doesn't work at 50!'
Hinting he's all about home-grown organic grub, the singer added: 'Let's say the takeaway order at the end of the night is a little more extravagant and healthier these days.
'Now there's more gym gear backstage – that was definitely not there in the Nineties.
'Like a weight bench and stuff. It sits there – it gathers clothes a lot.
'We all still travel on the bus together, we all still go out for dinner together, we go for a drink after together.
"Thankfully, we all get on – not every band does – and we've had the same crew for 25 years, so it's a family-orientated vibe.'
I try to be tucked up in bed as early as possible even at festivals, and I'm in my 30s, so I can relate.
LIZ AND BILLY TOP OF BILL
LIZ HURLEY has brought her boyfriend back to Blighty, as she stepped out on a red carpet here with Billy Ray Cyrus for the first time.
The couple posed at the Royal Academy of Dance fundraising evening in Mayfair's Mandarin Oriental Hotel, where she dazzled in a cream, sleeved dress.

Achy Breaky Heart singer Billy wore a black suit and, for some reason, had his hair in pigtails.
He had already met Liz's son Damien, but Billy's trip to the UK means that he can also now meet her extended family.
Though if he wants to impress them, he really ought to ditch that hairstyle.
THE second Wicked film might not be completed until just weeks before its November release, judging by the latest update.
Filming wrapped in January 2024 although the cast were called back for extra scenes – and now composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz has said the soundtrack for Wicked: For Good is yet to be recorded.
He admitted: 'This is crunch month.'
AVA MAX is hitting the UK for one night only to celebrate her album, Don't Click Play, following its release on August 22.
Last night, she announced a tour of the US and Europe, including a stop at the O2 Academy Brixton on October 25.
I'm sure the singer will be encouraging plenty of early Halloween costumes in her crowd.
