Williams: 'I can't imagine touring'

Robbie Williams has said that he cannot imagine touring again in the near future.

The former Take That star told The Sun that he will not go on the road in support of his comeback album Reality Killed The Video Star.

Williams said: "I cannot imagine touring in the near future. I've smashed my head against a wall too many times. I know it's harder than I am.

"I felt great when I started to promote a record but it soon began to kill me. I felt worse when on tour. I suffered a nervous breakdown and checked into rehab."

The singer cancelled the last dates of his 'Close Encounters' tour in 2006, citing exhaustion.

Williams will play a single date at London's Roundhouse venue on October 20, with the concert being broadcast live to nearly 200 cinemas in 23 countries worldwide.
