He has a well-documented past with drug abuse and admitted to being ‘high’ when he first met now-wife Ayda Field.
And, sober star Robbie Williams reportedly branded the UK ‘delusional’ over its drink and drugs culture during an Instagram Live on Friday night.

Speaking out: Robbie Williams reportedly branded the UK ‘delusional’ over its drink and drugs culture during an Instagram Live on Friday night
According to The Sun, Robbie said: ‘The thing about drugs and drink is the delusion. In the UK and many places, it’s as natural as breathing.
‘You just do not think about it — you leave school then you go to the pub and that is it, and then you drink.
‘What I am finding, since I have actually been properly sober, is what a delusion that way of thinking is.’
He’s also said to have argued that alcohol isn’t necessary, and can easily become a crutch that people rely upon and insisted that drinking booze shouldn’t be viewed as ‘a natural thing to do.’
The father-of-four revealed how he soon intends to ‘terrify’ his children – Teddy, seve, Charlie, five, Coco, 19 months, and Beau, two months, about the dangers of drugs and drink.

Robbie reportedly admitted that he is planning on talking to his children about booze and substance abuse ‘earlier than you would want to.’
He concluded that he hopes to ‘terrify them’ before they consider touching either, but acknowledged that from then on ‘it’s up to them if they fall by the wayside.’
The singer continued his rant, comparing drugs to a ‘chemical ouija board’ in that ‘we have all be interested’ and they both ‘let in very, very dark energies’ which consume the user.
MailOnline has contacted Robbie’s representatives for comment.
Robbie has been open about his battle with drink and drugs in the past, admitting meeting his wife Ayda forced him to put an end to his hedonistic lifestyle.
Speaking to WW’s Wellness That Works podcast, Robbie claimed he would have died if he hadn’t changed his lifestyle.

‘I knew I had to take action or I was going to die…’ he confessed, adding that he took ‘small steps’ to turn his life around.
‘You can only get bucked off the horse so many times… but you just keep getting back on the horse and then your percentage of who you are, where you are and how you feel about yourself and life will get better and better.’
Despite making positive changes, Robbie admitted it had been a ‘hard journey’.
He previously told The Sun in December 2017: ‘I’m drawn to getting f**ked up… whatever the level is.’
Robbie claims to have discovered his ‘addictive personality’ when he was a teenager, and has tried to stay ‘mainly sober’ throughout his adult life.
‘I can be addicted to anything…’ he said.
‘I’m addicted to an awful lot of things. I have to tend to that stuff and if I don’t tend to that stuff I get in trouble.’
