Robbie Williams 'regrets' not cracking America

Singer Robbie Williams has revealed to Britain's Daily Star newspaper that he really wants to crack the American market because he is relatively unknown there.

He said: "Nobody knows who I am. I can look at them and they can look at me. I get to stare at them and they get to stare at me, but they don't stare because they don't know who I am. I don't like this. I want this to change."

"Back in the 1990s when I went out there to promote my album I was not really dealing with fame very well at all - if I am honest I was not really dealing with much very well. It was when I realised that the more fame I got, the more insane I became."

"So I just stopped as I needed a place where I was not famous, because that would be the most sane thing to do. So I just lived over there and nobody knows me. Now I have changed my mind and I really regret it."

Robbie Williams, meanwhile, will perform live at the upcoming BRIT Awards, which will take place on February 22 at London's O2 Arena. The 1975, Little Mix and Emeli Sandé are also all set to perform at the ceremony.
