Robbie Williams thinks his music career is going to ''kill'' him and he believes his mental illnesses wouldn't be as bad if he wasn't famous.
The former Take That star reckons the music industry is ''really bad'' for his health because of his battle with anxiety and agoraphobia.
Speaking to The Sunday Times magazine, the 43-year-old singer said: ''This job is really bad for my health. It's going to kill me. Unless I view it in a different way.''
''It sprints through my family. I don't know if I'd be this mentally ill without fame. I don't think it would be as gross or as powerful if it hadn't have been for fame.
You get a magnifying glass in the shape of the world's attention and your defects will obviously magnify too.''
Williams credits his actress wife Ayda Field for helping him with his struggles and believes she helps to keep him afloat.
''She has the smarts to know how to not sink the ship, and I just want to sink the ship to see what it looks like.''
Williams and Field wed in Mulholland Estates in Beverly Hills in 2010 and have five-year-old daughter Teddy and two-year-old son Charlie together.
