Robbie Williams has made a deeply emotional confession about his mother Janetâs deteriorating health, revealing that her dementia has progressed to the point where she no longer recognises him.

The 51-year-old Take That legend broke the news to fans during a concert in Germany, admitting heâs ânot readyâ for what his family is facing. âMy mother has dementia and she doesnât know who I am anymore,â he shared from the stage. âShe doesnât know where she is anymore.â

Robbie also opened up about his father Pete, who can no longer leave the house due to Parkinsonâs disease. âHe used to sing with me every night on stage⊠now he canât leave the house,â Robbie said. âHeâd steal the show and then head backstage for a glass of red wine. Those days are gone.â

His wife Ayda is also dealing with heartbreakâher mother Gwen is battling a return of cervical cancer, on top of lupus and Parkinsonâs. Robbie described her as âthe most courageous lady⊠fighting, fighting, fighting.â

Speaking frankly, the singer admitted that he is struggling to cope. âThe truth is that Iâm very busy and Iâm not dealing with the situation as I should,â he previously told The Mirror. âI donât really know how to do it. Itâs incredibly complicated.â

Robbieâs openness comes as his biopic Better Man explores themes of family and dementia, inspired by his bond with his late grandmother who also suffered from the condition. Reflecting on the filmâs emotional ties to real life, he recently told HELLO!: âMy mumâs got dementiaâlike my nan in the film. My dadâs got Parkinsonâs and canât get out of bed. Iâm in a different part of my life now.â
Despite the global fame and success, Robbieâs private world is one marked by overwhelming loss, fear, and helplessness. âWeâre all human beings with our difficulties,â he said quietly. âAnd Iâm trying to deal with mine.â
