Robbie Williams reunites with family after having suspected coronavirus symptoms

Robbie Williams has said he believes he had coronavirus while he was self-isolating away from his family for three weeks.

The singer, who put himself in quarantine in an Airbnb in Los Angeles after flying back from Australia last month, has reunited with his wife Ayda Field and their four children.

He told The Sun: “When I landed back in LA it was unusually cloudy and grey, and what with everything going on it did feel very apocalyptic. I was in quarantine in an Airbnb down the road from my family and started worrying about food, about my medication running out, about Beau and my family, and was just very fearful for a couple of days.”

Williams said he felt “lethargic”, “tired” and “heavy”. "I convinced myself I’d got coronavirus," he said.

Revealing how he coped with being in self-isolation, Williams said: “I never normally do it but I got down on my knees and prayed. I thought about my wife and family. Within 30 seconds I had lifted my vibration and was in love.

“And you know what? The symptoms went away and the fear went away. I’ve now safeguarded myself against lower energies, against feelings of worthlessness.”

Celebrities who have had coronavirus include Idris Elba, Tom Hanks and Marianne Faithfull.
