Singer Robbie Williams has been admitted into rehab for treatment for his dependency on prescription drugs, his spokeswoman has announced.
The former Take That star, who is 33 today, has entered a clinic in the US.
His spokeswoman Bryony Watts said: "Robbie Williams has today been admitted into a treatment centre in America for his dependency on prescription drugs.
"There will be no further comment on this matter."
The star has constantly battled with his demons, entering rehab for addiction to drink and drugs after Take That split.
Sky's showbiz commentator Neil Sean spoke to the star recently about his new single.
He said: "He was very depressed when we spoke to him and he actually said 'I think it's time Robbie went away for a long period and didn't come back until the public want him'.
"He's taken the failure of his recent album Rudebox quite badly and he said the British media were against him.
"He's also been working very hard to make it in America - even living out there. But they just don't get this kind of music."
A friend of Robbie's, model Lisa D'Amato, says the singer has been taking antidepressants and was plagued with worries about his image.
"It was clear he was struggling with his mind," she told the News of the World. "He doesn't drink, but he needs antidepressants to get him through the day. A lot of the time he seemed on edge."
