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.

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.

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.
