Posted February 13, 200718 yr Williams enters rehab on birthday Williams has enjoyed a hugely successful solo career to date Pop singer Robbie Williams has been admitted into a rehab clinic in the US on his 33rd birthday, to be treated for a dependency on prescription drugs. It is not the first time that the British star has entered rehab, having become addicted to drugs and alcohol after he left Take That in 1995. He said later that his condition was so bad that Sir Elton John "kidnapped" him and made him seek treatment. In September, his Asian tour was called off because of stress and exhaustion. He was to have visited Shanghai, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore, Mumbai (Bombay) and Bangalore in November. A spokesman said at the time that to have performed in those cities after honouring European and South American commitments would have been "asking too much". 'Blow up' In a TV interview broadcast in 2004, Williams said he only gave up drugs and alcohol because they made him too fat. He said his addiction made him "blow up to the size of a small aircraft hangar". Williams' former Take That bandmates are currently enjoying a hugely successful comeback, including a number one single and album, and a sell-out UK tour. Their song Patience is expected to win best single at the Brit Awards ceremony, which takes place in London on Wednesday. But this is the first time in several years that Williams has failed to be in the running for the best male or best album categories. Hope he recovers soon and wish him all the best :).

February 13, 200718 yr :( Well, at least he cares enough to enter rehab... the first step is recognising you have a problem. And I hope he gets better and stronger than ever ^_^
