Hitmaker Robbie Williams has revealed that he battled anxiety while working on his new album, Heavy Entertainment Show. 

During an interview with Britain's Daily Star newspaper, the star explained that he gets nervous thinking about the reception his new record might receive:

"I get anxiety about the album and it's not like it started last week. I took it into the studio with me for the last three years. I'm terrified of releasing it. When I release a video or a song, lots of people are angry anyway."

Williams, who officially released the highly anticipated new album today (November 4), added: "There's a lot of people that like but there's a lot of people that really hate me. I don't doubt that the truth is there's a 140 million people going, 'That Robbie Williams, he's a w*****!'"
