Robbie Williams heartbreakingly admits he's not dealing with his parents' devastating ill health 'as he should' and confesses 'not knowing' how to cope


The singer, 50, revealed earlier this year that his mother Janet had been diagnosed with dementia, four-years after his father was diagnosed with Parkinson's.

He told The Mirror that receiving the diagnosis during Covid made things extra difficult as he and his wife Ayda and their children were self-isolating thousands of miles away from his parents in Los Angeles. Taking to Instagram, the pop legend and his actress wife revealed their beloved pooches Poupette and Walle died together in bed, with the losses marking the 'closing of one huge chapter'. 'It follows Robbie's journey from childhood, to being the youngest member of chart-topping boyband Take That, through to his unparalleled achievements as a record-breaking solo artist – all the while confronting the challenges that stratospheric fame and success can bring.'
