ven though Robbie Williams is one of the biggest music stars in the world, his charisma and bubbly personality seem to be running low at the moment. In yet another difficult period in his life, Robbie has been admitted to a rehab clinic in Los Angeles with what has been described as an addicition to “prescription drugs”.

While many will be relieved that this is not a return to his drinking and recreational drug abuse, there have been signs of late that all was not well. The Far Eastern stage of his recent world tour was dogged by no shows and incoherent ramblings in the popular press. At the time it was claimed that the ex-Take That star was suffering from exhaustion and all that was required was “a short break” from the music scene.

It appears that the prescription drugs in question are anti-depressants, which comes as no surprise to the many people working in his entourage. The public face of Robbie Williams is rumoured to be very different from the private face of a star who has been plagued by an array of demons throughout his life time.

It seems that the massive array of awards and accolades that he has received in recognition of his professional life have not made up for missing elements in his private life. Robbie Williams seems unable to obtain a balance between his high profile professional image, and his private life, which many feel is the root cause of his problems.
