WILLIAMS’ PERFORMANCE RUINED BY STAGE MISHAP
A terrified ROBBIE WILLIAMS struggled during his live comeback on U.K. series THE X FACTOR after a jammed stage door nearly prevented him from performing.
The former Take That star appeared on Simon Cowell’s TV talent show on Sunday (11Oct09), sealing his return to the spotlight after a three-year hiatus.
Concerned fans feared for his health as the star’s pupils appeared dilated and he began sweating profusely - but Williams insists it was due to a stage mishap which knocked his confidence.
In a post on his official blog, he writes, "At this point in the rehearsals the music starts⦠The doors open⦠BUT LIVE⦠The music starts⦠The doors donât open. So weâre a few seconds in and the doors remain closed⦠a few more seconds and theyâre still closed.
âNow I donât know if youâve ever had 10 million people plus ready to judge you on your first performance back in three years but let me tell you, if the door between you and them isnât opening thatâs enough to throw you right off your stride. I had to wedge it open myself. That wasnât part of the show.
âThat was brute strength and now heavy nerves, shifting something I probably wouldnât be able to move in the cold light of day. So thereâs a bad start. I had a whole pose planned and what not. But that went out of the window.â A spokesperson has assured fans there is no need to worry about Williams’ health, explaining, "He was excited to be on the show and this came across in his performance."
