“My eyesight is getting worse.” The confession comes from Robbie Williams who tells the Sun tabloid about the health problems that are affecting him following taking a weight-loss drug. The former Take That singer said he noticed the problem during a football match.

“Just some spots on a green field in front of me”

“I couldn’t distinguish the players – he said – they were just spots on a green field in front of me.” The artist thought it was “a normal decline in vision due to age”, but then, after turning to a specialist who advised him, without success, to change glasses, he realized that it was something else.

“It wasn’t about age, it was about weight loss injections”

“I had a hard time looking at the audience at concerts,” he continued. “I understood that it wasn’t about age, but about injections to lose weight,” he said, then warning people “about the potential risks” associated with taking these drugs and inviting everyone to inform themselves “before starting any slimming treatment of this kind.”
