WILLIAMS KEEN TO RETURN TO IRAQ

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 4:50 am

Funnyman ROBIN WILLIAMS is planning a second trip to perform for troops stationed in Iraq because rehab forced him to pull the plug on his most recent invite.
Williams was a big hit when he first performed for the soldiers and he has been keen to return ever since - but his battle with alcoholism got in the way.
He says, "I was in rehab the last time it came up and so it was a little difficult to go, but I’ll probably try and go back in the fall. The heavily-armed audiences are amazing." But Williams admits it’s often tough to be funny in a place where his audience is desperate not to be there.
He adds, "There’s a lot of people there who have volunteered and been there way beyond their tours of duty. That’s what p**ses me off.
"There are guys who are broke and who are having their houses repossessed back home and there family’s in debt, and they don’t let them go home because they can’t.
"Meanwhile, they’re in a place where there’s nowhere that’s safe. Everywhere can be bombed or detonated."
