London, May 27 (IANS) British singer Robbie Williams of famous band Take That is taking yoga sessions to battle his nerves and stay positive.
Williams, who rejoined the band last year, suffers from crippling stage fright. So he has taken up yoga to help with his nerves ahead of the stadium shows, which begin in Sunderland, northeast England, Friday night.
“Rob suffers from crippling anxiety and has been worried about the lads’ forthcoming concerts. A pal suggested Bikram yoga to refocus his pent-up energy and handle stress more effectively,” contactmusic.com quoted a source as saying.
The 37-year-old has reportedly been attending Bikram yoga sessions for the last three months.
“After a couple of sessions he was hooked, and sweating like a wildebeest. While the others have stuck to the gym or pool, Robbie’s been using meditation and yoga to help his stage fright and to keep sane on tour,” the source added.
