"They bring an energy, a sparkle, a vibe. We would all miss them if the weren't there. When Lucy Spraggan came to sing in Manchester with us, she said it was like "a cult" backstage."
Robbie and his wife, Ayda, share four children together: Theodora Rose, 12, Charlton Valentine, nine, Colette Josephine, six, and Beau Benedict, five. The 45-year-old American actress first met Robbie in 2006 when they were set up on a blind date.
They got married in a ceremony at their Beverly Hills home in 2010 with friends and family in attendance. It has been a busy few months for the Williams family following the release of Robbie's biopic 'Better Man' in December.
February saw Robbie thank fans as he shared the news that his latest album was a UK number 1 album. It was a landmark 15th UK number one album for the singer as a solo artist. The 'Better Man (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)' was the soundtrack of the biopic.
The movie included re-recorded and arranged versions of some of Robbie's classic songs, as well as his original song "Forbidden Road". The songs appeared at pivotal moments in the film about Robbie's life with She's the One, Angels and Let Me Entertain You all appearing in the movie.
Robbie revealed his favourite part of the show is the band intros. He enjoyed having each member play a piece of member and watching the crowd respond. He told viewers that notable shows on tour so far have been Copenhagen, London, Barcelona, Italy and Manchester's second night.
Opening up about his health, he said "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, in the past, though, I would have been paralysed with fear.
He added: "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."
In the comments of the post, one fan said: "Hope your family will be better we love and support you as always do" a second said "oh Rob, the world needs people like you so freaking much! thank you for everything you do, you're an inspiration to all of us."
A third responded: "Thank you for showing us again a little part of yourself. Your thoughts, worries and your very private situation with your parents. I'm sending you lots of positive energy."
A further response was " we love you too Robert! We love every inch of your being that you decide to gift us with! We also love every inch of you that you decide to keep away from us! We love you Rob, We will be there until you say enough!"
