"I've had a bit of a falling out with the wife. I've got gigs this week. The baby could come at any minute. The wife has said if I go into labour 'and you've got a gig say in Leeds or Dublin, you've got to cancel it and come home', he said
He went on: "Do you think my audience will go 'oh it's ok, his wife's pregnant - that's fine.' They won't will they? The show must go on surely?"
Robbie Williams has today announced that he'll be playing a small-scale show in Leeds.
He will perform in front of 2,300 fans at O2 Academy Leeds on Tuesday, September 11th.
