Robbie Williams has responded to online speculation after a small white object fell from his mouth onto a microphone during a live television interview around the World Cup final. He said it was a mint, using humour to apologise for what he called an unprofessional moment, while also announcing two major outdoor shows for summer 2027.

The singer performed at the 2026 World Cup final in New York with Laura Pausini and Nicole Scherzinger before the interview clip circulated widely. His newly announced dates are Lytham Festival in Lancashire on 3 July 2027 and Thomond Park in Limerick on 6 July 2027.
