Robbie Williams takes five hours to get ready

'Candy' hitmaker Robbie Williams says he takes five hours to get ready for a show.

The 39-year-old singer, who is currently on 'Take the crown stadium tour' along with his wife Ayda Field, spends a large amount of time preparing himself both physically and mentally before his performance, reported Contactmusic.

"I have a massage, that's an hour and a half. Then I have a shower, shave, make-up. In the flesh I'm not that beautiful, so we need make-up. Then I'll have my hair done, then stretching, it's a five-hour thing," he said.

Williams' tour, which kicked off last month, has not been an easy ride as twenty fans ended up in a brawl at his concert at Wembley stadium in London two weeks ago.
