The ceremony, held at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., featured a live performance of "Desire," the new single by the English artist that FIFA adopted as the official anthem for the upcoming World Cup.
The show was expected to become one of the musical highlights of the event, but a detail unrelated to the music ended up stealing all the attention of the millions of viewers following the broadcast around the world.
Robbie Williams sufrió un incómodo momento al aire
Williams chose a formal lavender outfit for the occasion: jersey, jacket, and matching pants that, on the red carpet, seemed to fit him perfectly. However, when he took the stage and began to move, he noticed that the pants were not tight enough.
In front of the cameras and the audience, the singer began to discreetly tug at them with one hand, trying to adjust them while performing the song. The gesture, far from going unnoticed, was caught by those in attendance, multiplied on social media, and accompanied by humorous comments that quickly made it trend.
The discomfort was such that, during some moments of the show, Robbie chose to stand sideways to avoid revealing that he was still trying to adjust his belt. His reaction, spontaneous yet obvious, ended up becoming one of the most talked-about moments of the ceremony.
The episode reignited the conversation about the artist's recent weight change, a topic that had already concerned his followers in recent months. In an interview with The Sun, Williams explained that he is undergoing pharmacological treatment to lose weight, and that the side effects have even started to affect his vision.
"I want to warn people reading this about the potential risks, so they make sure to do their research," the musician stated, aware that his testimony could serve as a warning. He also revealed: "I was a fairly early user of the injections, but what I'm noticing is that my eyesight isn't very good."

According to his account, the decline in his vision began to interfere with his work: at some shows he couldn't distinguish faces in the audience and, during a recent soccer match he attended, the players looked like mere "blurs on a green field". He also had to update his glasses prescription, which ultimately confirmed that something was not quite right.
