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."

Ashley Judd Shows Off Curves in Bathing Suit to Talk About Menopause: ‘We Don't Care Club'
Ashley Judd is no longer caring what others think and embracing her inner child as she experiences postmenopause. Judd, 57, took to Instagram on Tuesday, July 22, to share a video of herself splashing around in the Baltic Sea while showing off her curves in a green one-piece swimsuit. 'Hi, I'm Ashley and I'm a member of the We Don't Care Club,' she said. 'Sometimes when I wear a swimsuit, I get a little chafing, like right down there, so I put on cornstarch. Good trick if you don't know it already.' After showing off a non-stinging type of jellyfish in her hands, Judd placed the sea creature back into the water and said she was 'picking my crotch and I don't care.' She told fans about her 'MSU Club,' or 'Make Stuff Up Club,' and said that as a 'postmenopausal woman, I don't care if you don't like the MSU Club.' Celebrities That Are Leading the Body-Positive Movement: Mindy Kaling, Demi Lovato, Jameela Jamil and More Next, Judd flung herself backward into the water to soak her hair and showed off the cellulite on her legs, again telling fans, 'I don't care.' She also did a handstand, a belly flop and a backflip. In the caption, Judd wrote, ''Cause menopause (peri - post) is human biology. It is universal to females & global. What can be a hope of We Don't Care Club? What will I, with my freedom & mirth, when I let go of caring about stupid, controlling norms about my female body, be free to enJOY?' Menopause is the natural phase when periods stop for good, according to Mayo Clinic. Symptoms include hot flashes, sleep changes and mood swings. It can happen in someone's 40s and 50s, but the average age is 51 in the U.S., the clinic reports. There is also perimenopause, which is the stage leading up to menopause, and postmenopause, which is typically 12 months after periods end. Judd encouraged her followers to 'play, be silly, have fun and feel boundless joy.' 'I bask in the unselfconscious being-ness of my True Self. My Inner Child is free to emerge. She feels confidence & glee,' she continued. 'If you let yourself be free, how would your True Self & Inner Child spend your Carefree Timelessness?' Judd asked how readers can 'let go of what others expect, think, need [and] want. What do 🤍YOU🤍 feel, need, want, from yourself? Judd tagged Melani Sanders, the creator of the 'We Do Not Care' movement, and promoted her own 'Make Stuff Up Club.' Katherine Heigl on Her Perimenopausal Journey, C-Section Scars and Aging in Hollywood 'Inner Children🌸 have such beautiful, creative imaginations. They want to be seen, heard, be safe, & play. If as an adult, I am caught up in what others think of me, I ignore, neglect, & abandon my own tender Self. Today, that's off the table,' Judd concluded. 'Into the Sea for me, to splash & play!' Judd revealed she was 'post-menopausal since 2018' via a June 4 Instagram post. 'And super comfortable with that. Peri, menopause, and post-menopause is human biology and medically accurate,' she wrote. 'Sex education is essential. I am rejoicing in @justbeingmelani un muzzling of peri/post/menopausal expression and her inviting in all kinds of women to liberate their 'I don't cares!' We are enough, we do enough, it is enough. It is okay, we are okay. It is human biology. Fact and true. To all my menopausal ladies out there, what are your don't cares?!' Solve the daily Crossword
