Pop singer Robbie Williams has banned his four children from having mobile phones, likening devices to drugs.
Robbie, 51, told ITV News he is determined to ensure his kids remain phone-free “for as long as humanly possible”.
The former Take That star also teased linking up with 1990s rivals Oasis, even though he still doesn’t consider the Gallagher brothers to be pals.

Robbie Williams on banning his children from having mobiles
Speaking to ITV News, Robbie said: “They don’t have phones. They’re not going to have phones for as long as humanly possible. And you know they’re gonna go – when they are at school – that other people have phones, so why can’t they? Tough.”
It’s abuse.
Robbie, who is married to Ayda Field, went on: “That’s as simple as it is. I’m 51. I can’t deal with the corrosive nature of the internet and things. It hurts me. It ruins my day. How can I give this drug to a 12-year-old? How can I give this drug to a seven-year-old? It’s abuse.”
