The singer is preparing to head on tour this summer!
Robbie Williams has revealed that he was diagnosed with scurvy earlier this year.
The 'Rock DJ' singer shared the health update in an interview with The Mirror.
First diagnosed with depression in his 20s, Robbie said: “The year started with some ill mental health, which I haven’t had for a very, very long time,” adding that he was feeling “sad, I was anxious, I was depressed.”
He admitted: “I thought I was at the other end of the arc. So for it to return was just confusing.”

Robbie suspected that his diet could be a contributing factor in how he was feeling.
He continued to tell The Mirror: “I’d stopped eating and I wasn’t getting nutrients,” revealing that he was later diagnosed with scurvy, which he described as a “17th century pirate disease.”
The vitamin deficiency, scurvy, is caused by a lack of Vitamin C. It is also a rare condition and is usually seen in countries where people are malnourished.
Robbie made changes to his lifestyle, including his diet, and said his depression has now lifted. He is set to go out on the road for a European tour, which gets underway at the end of May, and includes a date at Croke Park, Dublin on Saturday, 23rd August.
