AceShowbiz - Robbie Williams' father has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
The pop star has learned Pete Williams, who has enjoyed some success as a cabaret singer over the years, is battling the progressive nervous system disorder in the U.K., while his son self-isolates with his wife, Ayda Field, and their kids in Los Angeles.
Robbie admits his father's diagnosis is the latest in a run of family dramas.
"We've got a lot of family issues right now," the "Angels" singer tells The Mirror. "My dad has got Parkinson’s, my mother-in-law, who I love dearly, has got a very big illness. We can’t get to them. My dad is thousands of miles away."
"My mum is just a year short of 80 and she’s in isolation and I can see the things whirling in her mind."
Robbie fears all the worry and anxiety will have an impact on his own mental health, but insists he's not the man he once was when it comes to dealing with drama, adding, "I noticed at the start of the lockdown that I was going into fear. But the difference between me now and the person I used to be... I saw it, thought, 'That’s interesting, tomorrow will be different' - and it was."
