Robbie Williams shares concerning news about parents' health

Yahoo4 days ago
Robbie Williams has shared an update on his parents' health, saying it is "precarious".
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."

Get as much rest as you can this summer: the official Paris Fashion Week schedule is out and it's packed like a summer suitcase. Altogether, the Spring 2026 women's ready-to-wear calendar, which will run from September 29 to October 7, features a total of 76 shows and 36 presentations—compared to a respective 66 and 40 during the spring 2025 season. Jonathan Anderson's womenswear debut at Dior (following his men's show in June) will take place on October 1 at 2:30pm, while Matthieu Blazy's much-anticipated first show at Chanel will be held on October 6 at 8pm. Behind the scenes at Chanel SS25. Photo: Acielle/Style Du Monde As previously reported, it's a high-stakes season with an unprecedented number of designer debuts against a backdrop of an industry downturn. Will these renewed creative visions help the industry to rebound? There's an impressive number of brands returning to the calendar. They include Thom Browne (who hasn't shown during ready-to-wear in Paris since September 2022), Lanvin (which chose the eve of couture for Peter Copping's debut last season), Vetements and Agnès b. The flurry of debuts include Loewe, Jean Paul Gaultier, Carven and Mugler. There are also the 'half debuts': the first ready-to-wear show of Glenn Martens at Margiela after impressing with his couture and Michael Rider's summer 2026 collection at Celine after his July co-ed debut, which was a 'spring' (or resort) collection, per the house verbiage. 'I believe in the calendar,' Rider said backstage in July. (His predecessor Hedi Slimane had been showing mostly off-calendar via a video format.)

‘Folktales' Review: Young Adults Mushing Forward

'I think to be a young woman is chaos. There is no other word for things,' notes Hege, a 19-year-old Norwegian who, like many others her age these days, seems to be searching for something she can't quite identify or even envision. In the beguiling and touching documentary 'Folktales,' we observe that, if anything, to be a young man is even more challenging than being a woman. 'I'm nice, but then again I'm kind of annoying,' is the self-assessment of another Norwegian, Bjørn. A Dutch youth, Romain, notes: 'If I talk, I'm annoying. If I don't talk, I'm boring.' He also says: 'Being young is hard. Sometimes I've found being alive hard.'
