Tormented pop star Robbie Williams has been admitted into a famous US rehab clinic for addiction to prescription drugs.
As reported in later editions of yesterday's Evening Times, the former Take That star is staying at the Meadows clinic in Arizona, favoured by celebrities.
The exclusive centre, high in the Sonoran Desert and surrounded by mountain views, is renowned for its tough programme which bans contact with the outside world, alcohol, sugar, cigarettes and caffeine.
But art therapy, spirituality, counselling, yoga, tai chi and acupuncture are also on offer.
The Meadows says its intensive treat-ment deals with the "patterns that have caused self-destructive behaviours".
A spokeswoman said the centre never confirmed or denied who was staying there.
Williams, who moved to Los Angeles to crack the US market and remove himself from the London party scene, was 33 yesterday.
His spokeswoman Bryony Watts said: "Robbie has been admitted into a treatment centre. There will be no further comment."
