Robbie Williams hopes to go on tour at the end of 2022 after cancelling his Las Vegas residency in 2020 - but fears Covid-19 will scupper gig plans



Robbie Williams has hopes he will tour at the end of 2022, but has fears that the ongoing pandemic will scupper his gig upcoming gigs.

In an an interview obtained by The Sun the singer, 47, has called Covid-19 'terrifying' because it has left him unable to perform.

He said: 'Hopefully I’m going to go on tour at the end of this year. [...] We are two Christmases into it and it’s still going strong. It’s terrifying.

'It’s terrifying for many, many reasons but personally and selfishly I haven’t been able to gig, I haven’t been able to do a tour.'
The news of an upcoming tour comes after his Las Vegas residency at Encore Theater in 2020 was cancelled.

A source has also told the publication: 'Robbie's dream of getting back out on the road is something he wants to make a reality.
'This year could be tough, but knowing Robbie, anything is possible.'

Robbie's last tour, The Heavy Entertainment Show, finished in 2019 after performing in the UK, Europe, Australia and South America.
It comes after Robbie revealed how he was once the target of a hitman during the height of his fame - but he had 'friends' who made the situation go away.

He told how a contract was put on his head at a time when he was 'ridiculously famous', as he likened his stardom to Michael Jackson's.

Robbie explained how friends of his were able to make the contract 'go away', as he divulged in the 'unseen' side of being a celebrity.

Robbie told the The Mirror: 'I've never, ever said this, but I had a contract put on me to kill me. I've never said that publicly before. It went away. I have friends. That stuff is the unseen stuff that happens when you become famous.'
Robbie went on to discuss how he struggles with the attention that comes with being a superstar and how he has only come to terms with it in recent years.

He said: 'Extreme fame and extreme success meets with anxiety and depression and mental illness. There's a few levels of fame and what it does to you. The first one is "f**k".

'There's a couple more I can't remember but the fourth one is ­acceptance. You sort of rally against your privacy being taken away from you and you rally against it by trying to be normal, trying to be normal but also I'm gonna be small so people don't beat you up. Like, "I'm a d**khead, don't hurt me."' ]
