Robbie Williams has said that his parents' health is in a "very precarious place right now".
In November last year, Robbie Williams had announced that his mother had been diagnosed with dementia. The 'Angels' singer added that his father Pete has Parkinson's disease and struggles to be as talkative as he once was.
The singer who is currently on tour in he UK, shared this news via Instagram, where he informed fans on their well being, as well as how the tour was going.
“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", the former Take That singer said.
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".
“Every single moment of every single day is in preparation for those 2+ hours on stage. Outside of that? I have nothing’. There is nothing to offer. I don’t mind stating to those around me, I need protecting. And in return I protect them”.
Earlier this week, Williams told The Sun: “My mother has dementia and she doesn’t know who I am anymore. She doesn’t know where she is anymore".
On his father, Williams added: “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".
This comes as Williams shared his new single 'Spies' from his forthcoming album 'BRITPOP'. Check that out and more here.
