'I battled with anxiety and mental health demons. Yes, the other night I was on stage on TV. I had the tail ends of a cold,' Robbie told the Herald Sun. The singer added he was taking medication for his cold and when combined with his ongoing mental health battle, he was left feeling very vulnerable.

'On top of a cold, I had jetlag. Cold plus jet lag plus anxiety and mental illness is a very potent combination. 'I noticed once I stepped on stage in front of 11 million viewing people, I felt crazy. I also had to hold it together and not, outwardly, let what was happening inwardly.'.

'The demons now are, "Twitter's gonna think I’m on stage off my face on coke." Not only do I look crazy, I feel crazy. 'While I'm enjoying myself, and going with it, I'm also experiencing anxiety, and all the mean comments out there in internet land.'.
