Singer Robbie Williams says it took nearly dying to change the way he lives. The former Take That star knows how lucky he is after a health scare left him close to death in 2017. Williams became seriously ill while backstage at a stadium gig in Zurich and spent seven days in intensive care after doctors discovered abnormalities on his brain, reports thesun.co.uk.

He said: "I've refocused my life and all the extremities in it. It's probably why I am in such a good form today. It takes nearly dying for someone like me to change the way they live.
