Robbie Williams shares another embarrassing performance story!
The 50-year-old singer said during a guest appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Monday, January 13, that he once mocked a group of fans at his show for not standing up – in what turned out to be his most difficult moment on stage.
“I messed up the wheelchair part of my show for people who weren’t standing and enjoying it,” Williams told host Andy Cohen. “And I scolded them and made the whole audience point at them and whistle and then stamp their feet and go, ‘Out! out! Out!’ ”
Cohen, 56, shook his head as his co-star Julia Stiles gasped along with the audience in reaction to the story.
“And then I looked over to the side of the stage and my manager was there and he was going like this [motioning waving arms] and he left [motioning pushing a wheelchair]Williams continued. “And I said, ‘Oh… okay.’ ”

Williams posted a cartoon that read: “Sometimes your favorite artists fart on stage” while explaining in the caption that he got “terrible” food poisoning during the British pop band’s reunion tour.
“A few days later we played at the Ajax stadium in Amsterdam,” Williams wrote. “I still wasn’t good enough, I ventured onto the stage. I was in the precarious position of not being able to ‘trust the fart’. Which was unfortunate because I was supposed to do it during my opening song. Let me entertain you.”
“As I’m sure you can imagine, it wasn’t just a fart. But like a professional I kept my composure and gave myself 100% to the performance,” the singer recalled, adding, “A gig parp any other time can be liberating.”
