Speak on the Robbie Williams Rewind Podcast, the singer said of the upcoming releases: ‘I’m both excited and nervous. I’m not nervous that it’s not good because what I’ve seen has blown me away.

“What I’m nervous about is that I’m back in the crosshairs because the movie is coming out and the Netflix thing is coming out.

And for a long time I haven’t really been economically viable for the lesser energy that comes with the media, which has made my life enjoyable and made all of this possible.

“I need these few things to keep the wind behind my sails for the third part of my life, they are vital. But if they are a success, however long, I’m back in the crosshairs and it’s a very vulnerable time to be in the media right now.

“You can get suspended for anything, and I’m not talking about sexual, I’m just talking about everything you say, what specific day you wake up on the wrong side of history, you are a relic of the last century where we thought and felt different things.’

Robbie claimed, “You’re 15 seconds away from being canceled any time and that doesn’t feel nice.”

The Angels hitmaker admitted his “foolishness” probably made him more open to criticism.

He said, “Especially for someone like me who just shoots from the hip with silliness, not shoots from the hip with opinions about how the world should be. Just jokes and laughter and silliness, so there are two ways to look at it.

“I’m really looking forward to it coming out and being a success, because success feels great, but at the same time I feel vulnerable when I’m in that crosshairs.”
