Robbie Williams worries that he didn't deserve the BRITs Icon Award honour

Robbie Williams feels he's "devaluing" the BRITs after receiving this year's 2017 Icon Award.

The 'Angels' singer admitted that following in the footsteps of Elton John and David Bowie has made him worry he might not be worthy of the prize.

Asked in an interview with NME if the Icon Award is like an elevation of status, he replied: "It depends who they give it to next. Maybe I'm just devaluing the brand. Maybe it's like the heavy descent. Maybe it's S Club 7 next. I don't know...

"There's so much in my career where I look into the abyss and the abyss looks back and goes: 'I don't know, I don't have a ... clue.' How have I got 18 BRITs and Paul McCartney hasn't? Something weird has happened... Me having 18 BRITs – it's like there's a glitch in the Matrix. But, you know I'm not going to give them back and I'm glad it's happened to me."

The singer went on to say that despite enjoying a quieter life with his family in recent years with wife Ayda Field and their kids Theodora and Charlton, he still likes to surprise people with his performances.

"I do have limited creative skills and I find myself saying things that, at later inspection and later dates, I probably wouldn't have said," he mused.

"I'm just trying to entertain and be funny all the time. I'm not really trying to be controversial but if what I say is funny and controversial at the same time then so be it and great."

We've got to agree – his controversial humour is one of the best and most unique things about Robbie!
