Williams: 'I didn't care if I died'

Robbie Williams has said that he nearly died because of his prescription painkiller addiction.

The ex-Take That singer told The Sun that he had also used speed, ecstasy, cocaine, LSD, Adderall and heroin.

Williams said: "I would do 20 Vicodin in a night. I was on my way out. I might have been 24 hours away from dying.

"At the time you don't give a s**t if you pop your clogs. I must have been very, very close."

He added: "I would have carried on, to be honest. You get to the point that far into your addiction, you're not bothered whether you live or die, because that's where it takes you."

Williams recently said that it was only the "damn serious" threat of dying that forced him into going through drug rehabilitation.
