Robbie Williams may be back on the road but he's harked back to tales of previous tours including a close 'cannibal' encounter with a frenzied fan.
The Millennium hit-maker recalled how when performing at Festhalle Arena in Frankfurt when things took a worrying twist.
Robbie, 49, said: "At the start of the show I go down to the barriers and I see what kind of people we have here. You f***ers are animals. Somebody tried to grab me into the audience and eat me for some reason."
And in another tour flashback, he recalled an intimate episode in Hamburg with two women 'grabbing his tackle'.
He added: "I was in Hamburg and two people tried to grab my penis. It is true. I felt two hands."
The singer then mimicked them rooting around in his pants. “Wer is das penis? Wer is das? Oh here it is,’" he said.
But sharing with concert-goers from the safety of the stage, he admitted most fans had just wanted to “mother” him. They even patted his stomach to make sure he was eating enough.
The Angels singer, who has been married to Ayda Field-Williams since since 2010, has offered insights into previous tours recalling “the highest of highs and lowest of lows.”
He told the crowd: “The sex. Remember that? Ah, it was so much fun. Especially here in Germany. Thank you, Germany."
"The drugs. Mixed reaction to the drugs, because a few of you will be going ‘well he has been to rehab about 70 times, maybe we should not go yay to drugs.’ But it’s OK. Tonight will be therapy for me and entertainment for you."
And in a more recent on-stage encounter at London's O2, Robbie paused his set as he became distracted by the behaviour of a fan, explaining to the audience: "There is a lady here getting her breasts out for me down here.
"Incredible. Total scenes."
Robbie, then laughed off the bold move, joking: "But for me, it is like being a diabetic in a cake shop. There’s nothing I can do about it, is there?"
The former Take That star is playing across Europe as part of his 25th anniversary XXV tour.
His tour takes him across Scandinavia, France and Spain before landing back to Blighty for the Isle of Wight festival in June.
