Robbie Williams has spoken candidly about his mental health, revealing that he experienced a significant bout of depression at the beginning of 2025, marking his first serious episode in over a decade.
The pop superstar, known for his openness about his struggles with addiction and mental health over the years, said he was caught off guard by the return of his depression, believing that chapter of his life was firmly behind him.
In a heartfelt interview with The Mirror, Williams admitted that the start of the year was overshadowed by an emotional and psychological downturn that left him feeling “sad, anxious and depressed.”
“The year started with some ill mental health, which I haven't had for a very, very long time,” he revealed. “It's been about ten years... I thought I was at the other end of the arc.”
Williams, who first went public with his mental health challenges in his twenties, described the experience as “confusing” and unexpected, particularly after years of believing he had found peace and stability in his personal journey.
“I thought this was the end of my story, and that I would just go walking into this marvellous wonderland,” he said. “So for it to return was just confusing.”
The former Take That star has long been praised for his honesty around mental health, helping to break down stigmas in the music industry and beyond. His latest revelation serves as a reminder that mental health is an ongoing process, even for those who appear to be thriving.
Throughout his career, Williams has been open about his battles with addiction, anxiety, and depression, issues that have often played out publicly due to his global fame. Despite his struggles, he remains one of Britain’s best-loved entertainers, continuing to connect with fans through both music and personal truth.
His openness about his latest experience is already resonating with fans online, with many praising the singer for speaking out about the often-unpredictable nature of mental health. It’s another powerful moment from an artist who, despite the highs and lows of fame, continues to be refreshingly real.
As Williams moves forward in 2025, he remains focused on his well-being and family, while continuing to inspire others through vulnerability and honesty, proving once again that even pop icons are not immune to life’s emotional challenges.
