Former Take That singer bends over knackered in the Netherlands
A panting Robbie Williams paused his performance over the weekend, telling the audience “I’m f***ed”.
The former Take That star sauntered around the stage looking slightly delirious and slouched with hands on thighs.
Watching on at the Pinkpop music festival in the Netherlands, the crowd laughed at the entertainer’s comment.
Williams, 49, snapped back: "It's long Covid, I've got long Covid. It's not my f***ing age, you f***ers!"
Williams said he was 'grateful for Jewish people.'

Having recovered his breath, the singer ploughed on with the track Monsoon.
The Rock DJ with a point to prove was able to tick off 16 more songs including Kids and Angels.
Currently on his XXV world tour celebrating 25 years in the business, Williams is still set to perform in New Zealand, Singapore, Italy and the royal Sandringham Estate.
Williams has been struck down with Covid twice, for the first time in April 2020 and secondly while on in the Carribeans island of St Barts, from which he still feels the after effects.
Williams powered through the long Covid during a barnstorming performance at Tel Aviv’s Yarkon Park recently.
Addressing the Israeli crowd, Williams outlined how he was “grateful for Jewish people.”
To kick the performance off, he shouted: “My name is Robbie f***ing Williams, yalla balagan!”, which means “let’s do this” or “let’s go” in Hebrew.
Take That’s former frontman continued: “As an outsider coming in, you have something incredibly f***ing special here. I went for a walk the other night.
Back in London Williams is embroiled in a dispute with neighbours

“I noticed a peace here, there is a peace here that I don’t feel in London, that I don’t feel in Los Angeles.
“Considering as a people you have so much going on, there is a calm, and a sincerity… Just by this walk, I felt you, I know who you are, I know how you are, and you mean an awful lot to me. It’s always really special coming out.”
Williams mentioned his Jewish wife, Ayda Field, with whom he has four children.
The singer said: “My wife is Jewish, so my kids are Jewish. I like to keep some of the traditions going in the family, just out of respect for you guys and their history.
“I’m very grateful for you being there over the years… and very grateful just for you as a people, God bless you.”
At one point, Williams revealed a wrist tattoo with the word ‘simcha’ meaning happiness in Hebrew.
While in Tel Aviv, Williams also heart-warmingly surprised a busker who was singing his song ‘Angels’.
Back home in the UK, Williams is facing backlash for intentions to cut back 14 plants at his mansion in Holland Park, London.
Williams has been accused of ‘environmental vandalism’ by his neighbours after he formally asked the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea for a license to prune.
One of Williams’ illustrious former neighbours, Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, has been battling with Robbie over the former Take That man’s plans to renovate his £17.5 Grade II listed mansion.
Though Page reasoned that the vibrations would damage his ancient paintings and frescoes, Robbie intends to go full steam ahead with installing an indoor pool, gym and underground passageway.
