‘I’m f**ked!’: Exhausted Robbie Williams had to stop mid-concert due to ‘long Covid’
Robbie Williams had to stop his last concert just a few songs later because he was exhausted by ‘lung Covid’.
The former Take That singer, 49, performed at the Pinkpop music festival in the Netherlands last weekend.
But before singing his song Monsoon, he asked his band to stop, announcing, “No, stop stop.” I’m screwed. I’m the dick.’
He explained: ‘It’s long Covid, I’ve got long Covid. It’s not my goddamned age, assholes.’
After a short break, Robbie started singing the song and continued the set with another 16 songs, including hits like Rock DJ, Kids and Angels.

Robbie has had Covid-19 twice – the first in April 2020 when he was home in Los Angeles, and the second was in January 2021 while vacationing on the Caribbean island of St. Barts with wife Ayda and their four children .
He told fans at the time, “The mental battle was the hardest part of isolation, making sure we don’t slip into our own dark holes.”
Robbie’s move comes after his neighbors accuse him of ‘environmental vandalism’ over plans to prune his garden – amid an ongoing planning feud with Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page.
The Take That frontman and the guitarist, 79, have been embroiled in a bitter feud since the former moved into his home in Holland Park in 2013.
Robbie is reportedly trying to prune back 14 plants and says they block light from reaching his £17.5 million west London mansion.
He has asked the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea for permission and planners will soon visit his residence, The Sun reported.
However, his plans have already met with disagreement among the neighbors.
One of them wrote, ‘Hello there, I think these trees should be left standing as cutting down healthy trees is an act of environmental vandalism.

“Shame on anyone who wants to destroy our green friends. They give us life – we must respect theirs.’
MailOnline has reached out to representatives for Robbie for comment.
In February, Robbie’s attempts to build an underground swimming pool and gym were met with opposition from Jimmy.
The plans were initially approved by the council of Kensington and Chelsea, but the former Take That star was then told he would have to apply to have the title deed of his property legally amended to allow construction work to go ahead.
Rocker Jimmy claimed the vibrations from the works could damage the old paintings and frescoes in his landmark building, where he has lived since 1972, according to The Sun.
And in November, Robbie again risked tension with his rock star neighbor Jimmy after deciding he wanted to cut down trees close to their shared fence.
Jimmy submitted plans on April 21 to reshape a bay tree for his landmark block.
It was approved a month later and the council called the works “routine maintenance.”
The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea said: ‘The Council has no objection to the proposed work.’

But just two weeks before Jimmy submitted his application, Robbie was denied planning permission to cut down a 22-foot-tall Robinia tree in his yard.
Jimmy’s mansion was previously owned by poet John Betjeman and Dumbledore actor Richard Harris.
He outbid David Bowie to buy it in 1972, aged just 28.
The Tower House was designed between 1875 and 1881 by ‘art architect’ William Burges as his home – and the rooms are themed around Time, Love and Literature.
