Robbie ready to quit singing

Superstar Robbie Williams has sensationally revealed he could quit singing because his career has become a 'monster'.

The 32-year-old former Take That singer says he doesn't see himself singing again and will decide in the next 18 months if he will go on or not.

But while Robbie says he doesn't know if he wants to be part of the music industry 'machine' anymore he fears he may have become addicted to fame.

The shock announcement will leave millions of his fans worldwide on tenterhooks until he makes a decision.

Experts warn the news could even damage his record company EMI, which took a huge gamble when it signed him to a record-breaking £80million contract in 2002.

On the eve of releasing his new single Rudebox, Robbie admitted he craves a normal life.

"I've got to take the view over the next 18 months and see if I want to be part of the machine anymore, because I don't see me singing again," he said in an interview with the Daily Star.

"It's a question of what I want and where I want to be.

"Can I live without radio picking my song and putting it on the playlist?

"Or is this fame thing something I'm addicted to?

"I don't know where I stand with it all at the moment. Do I take things into my own hands and dismantle this monster and have a nice life?"
