Robbie Williams enters drug rehab on his birthday
He has been there before but yesterday, on his 33rd birthday, Robbie Williams checked himself into rehab. Robbie first sought help for drug related problems in 1995 after his departure from Take That and then again in 2004 when he jokes that Elton John kidnapped him and forced him into rehab.
Now in 2006, just when Take That is becoming a hit act again, Robbie Williams is once again in drug rehab. This time the rehab is for treatment for addiction to prescription medication. Robbie’s mother said that going into rehab on his birthday was the best gift her son could have given to himself.
By all accounts it is Robbie Williams’s fight with depression that drove him to start taking prescription pills and led him to his current level of addiction. According to The Sun, Robbie’s daily addiction routine included the highly controversial anti-depression medication Seroxat, which has been linked to suicidal tendencies in teenagers. In addition to the medications, Robbie also included 36 double espressos, 60 cigarettes and 20 cans of Red Bull in his daily routine.
We certainly wish Robbie the best of luck and seriously, and with sarcasm, hope that when he returns to health his music will return to top form.
