British pop singer Robbie Williams, 30, is gay, his former manager says.
According to the April 13 edition of the Daily Mail, Kevin Kinsella said: ‘It was clear to me that he is gay. I think Robbie has the same problems as [TV entertainer] Michael Barrymore. They know they are gay, they know what they want to do. But they are controlled by parameters which say that you can’t come out and say you are gay because it will affect your career and sales, and people may not love you. So what happens is that these demons inside of them come out in drink and drugs.’
Kinsella made the remarks in a documentary on Williams’ rise to fame with the boy band Take That. Williams’ spokesman declined to comment on the reports.
