Robbie opened up about his illness
He said: "How I am is really good. I've been recovering from an illness now for the last five weeks. Unfortunately that illness kicked in just at the end of my tour, a tour which was going so well… I needed to finish that tour, I needed to go to Moscow and I needed to go to St Petersburg… Then I got some test results… They were very worrying and I ended up in ICU, so I couldn't go. I haven't pulled out of a tour for bad health since 1998 so you know if I can't do it then there's something going on that I just can't do it."
