Robbie Williams thinking of wearing a wig on tour following failed hair transplant

Robbie Williams revealed he is thinking about wearing a wig on tour after his hair transplant didn't work out.

The Angels singer, 48, previously had a hair transplant as well as pricey follicle growth injections.

However, both procedures didn't yield the results he wanted so he might be going down an easier route.

Robbie revealed: "I’m thinking of getting a hairpiece.

“There are these great wigs that you can get now, you have to shave all your hair off and then you have it placed on with glue and it sticks on for a couple of weeks."

He added to Australian radio: "I might actually do it just for touring."

The Take That star added that he sometimes thinks he's 'still 27' when he's on stage, but the giant screen footage gives him a reality check.

He explained: "When I’m on stage and I’m giving it the big-gun, I’m looking at them like I still think I’m 27.

"And then I turn behind me and see a 40-foot version of me with three necks and there’s a light shining on the top of my head that makes it look like a baby’s a**e I start to get slightly neurotic about declining hair."

Back in 2021, he opened up about embracing his thinning hair and trying different styles.

Robbie - who is married to Ayda Field - said: "I’m losing my hair, I’m thinning and I thought instead of fighting against it I should just lean into it.

"The first step was doing a number one all over and to see how that looked. I thought that was OK.

"Then I thought while Ayda was out, I’d just shave a Mohican. This is what has happened.”

Robbie underwent hair transplant surgery in 2013 but it didn't stop his hair from thinning seven years later.

In 2020, a consultation revealed his hair was too thin to have another procedure.

Speaking to The Sun earlier this year, Robbie explained how he forked out a lot of money on injections that 'costs the same as his grandma's house.

The singer said: "They were an absolute fortune, two vials of this stuff. It cost the same price as my grandma’s house.

"And they put these vials in and said in five months, your hair will grow back much thicker. Nothing has happened. We are now seven months in and nothing has happened. You cannot tell."
