POP star Robbie Williams has revealed his mother's dementia means she no longer knows who he is – and admits he "isn't ready for it."
The Angels singer revealed the heartbreaking news about mum Janet during a recent concert while on tour in Germany.
Former Take That star Robbie, 51, also talked on stage about the other stresses he's been suffering with his father, Peter, who's also a singer, as well as his mother in law.
He said: "My mother has dementia and she doesn't know who I am anymore.
"She doesn't know where she is anymore.
"My dad has Parkinson's and he can't leave the house.
"He used to sing with me every night on stage, he would come out, steal the show and be charming and then wander backstage for a glass of red wine.
"Now he can't leave the house.
"My mother-in-law, who I absolutely worship and adore, has three illnesses.
"She's for lupus, Parkinson's and cancer. She is the most courageous lady and she is fighting, fighting, fighting."
He added: "It's a strange place to be, this place we find ourselves, 51 years old, it's very strange to be the grown up.
"I'm not ready for it."
Robbie has previously talked about his mothers battle with dementia, which his grandmother also suffered from.
He said he knew the day would come when she might not recognise him.
He admitted: "I'm in a different part of my life right now."
