British pop star ROBBIE WILLIAMS has disappointed fans by announcing he won't be touring anytime in the near future - and may never take to the stage again.

The Angels singer has become reclusive in recent years, holing himself up at his Los Angeles home in a bid to escape the glare of the world's media.
And despite being one of the U.K.'s most popular performers, the former Take That star isn't too keen to revive his career.
He writes in his internet blog, "The more time I'm spending away from public life, the more I like it."
The singer, who is reportedly close to considering leaving his $160 million (GBP80 million) deal with record label EMI due to its new owner, Terra Firma's decision to make 2,000 redundancies, is allegedly threatening to withhold the release of his next album if the issues aren't dealt with.
And Williams insists he won't be gracing any arena stages in the near future, writing in the blog, "There definitely won't be a tour anytime soon. (I'll) put an album out in 2009 which means you won't be seeing a lot of me on stage."
