Williams has mystery illness

Robbie Williams has revealed in an interview with Magic 105.4 that he is suffering from a mystery illness.

The Take That star said, "I thought I was lethargic and depressed as a person. I thought that was my make-up. I found out a few months ago that I'd been ill, completely by mistake, and I don't want to go into the whys and wherefores."

Williams continued, "But what I had made you lethargic and made you depressed and I'd had it for years and not known. I'm on treatment for it. It's changed my life."

Elsewhere in the interview, when asked about handling fame, Williams said, "I don't think anybody has responded to it particularly well when they get to a certain level. Elton John went mental; Elvis went mental; I went mental. Everybody at some point, at that stage, goes bonkers."
