Robbie Williams has been admitted to rehab on his 33^rd brithday. His spokeswoman, Byony Watts confirmed:

“Robbie Williams has today been admitted into a treatment centre in America for his dependency on prescription drugs.

Robbie’s battled with drink and drugs over the years has been well documented by both the media and by Robbie himself.

Some of his choice quotes on the matter include:

“I’m cut between being a druggie and a professional athlete.”

“I hate drugs, I love drugs. They haven’t invented a new one that’s not bad for you or less depressing than Ecstasy, or one that makes you less paranoid than coke.”

“I’m still addicted to everything - if I play two games of table tennis I’ll be addicted to that.”

Model LISA D’AMATO recently revealed Robbie was taking antidepressants and was plagued with worries about his image:

“It was clear he was struggling with his mind. He doesn’t drink, but he needs antidepressants to get him through the day. A lot of the time he seemed on edge.”

Robbie received mixed reviews for his latest album Rudebox and only one Brit (The British version of the Grammy’s)nomination.

He recently cancelled the Asia leg of his Close Encounters world tour, citing stress and exhaustion as the reason.
