Singer Robbie Williams reportedly spent 30,000 pounds on getting his back treated during a recent tour.

Williams is said to have got lower back spasms during the final leg of his Take The Crown tour.

He was unable to walk just a few days before the final act at Tallinn, Estonia, reports mirror.co.uk.

"Robbie was wincing in pain when he walked into the room. He was stooping over with terrible lower back spasms and swelling, and he really couldn't sit down or stand up," said Allan Austin Oolo, the doctor who treated Williams.

"He said he'd hurt his back last year doing some sort of jump from a height," Oolo added.

"A few days before he saw me, he'd done a jump on stage that had made it much worse. At that moment it would have been absolutely impossible for him to have performed," he said.

Williams was adamant about not cancelling his final gig.

"Robbie was very humble and didn't want to let his fans down so I worked on him during three intensive sessions the following day," he added.
