Robbie opens up about addictions

Robbie Williams is just about to release his first album in years, but he has now just opened up about some of the demons that have been plaguing him all this time.

He told the Sun newspaper that he had been taking a deadly cocktail of drugs and painkillers.

He also admitted, "I'd take Adderall, which was like speed for people with ADHD. I'd be doing colossal, heart-stopping amounts of that. It was the American addiction. Prescription pills."

As we know mixing and overdosing on prescription drugs has resulted in the death of numerous stars recently including Michael Jackson and Heath Ledger.

Let's hope that Robbie has managed to overcome his demons and is on the right track again.
