Robbie Williams has started planning his funeral, and he wants to be buried in LA

Oh no, this is arguably odder than the searching for UFO's chapter of Robbie William's life.

The former Take That singer has become obsessed with his own death and has even started planning his funeral - saying he wants to be buried in Los Angeles.

The Take That star may only be 39, but Robbie says he has changed his mind over original plans to be laid to rest in his home town of Stoke-on-Trent.

The morbid singer used to want to be buried close to his beloved grandmother Betty (Williams) at a cemetery in Tunstall, but now says he’s considering a plot in Beverly Hills where he lives with wife, actress Ayda Field and baby daughter Teddy.

He said: “The thing about Stoke, my heart seems to be there. I have an interesting dilemma.

“If we stay in Los Angeles and this is our home for the rest of time, I’m not going to want to be buried at Stoke-on-Trent.

“When I am back in Stoke, my favourite place to visit is my grandma’s grave at Tunstall Cemetery. I have always thought that is where I would end up, at the cemetery.

“But because I now have an American bird as my wife, and I plan to be with her for the rest of time.

“Ayda’s grandma is in a cemetery over here, in a cemetery just down the road from our house. Her grave is constantly in the sun. It’s a nice place to end up.”

Speaking on his Radio Rudebox podcast last week Robbie revealed he wasn’t afraid of dying, adding: “I don’t feel sad about it for some reason, it’s an inevitability.

“I may take cremation on board. I always thought I was going to be buried.”

The star, has been settled in LA for over 10 years and says returning back to Stoke would be impossible now given his superstar lifestyle.

Robbie is flying high right now after scoring a number one album, becoming a dad to adorable baby daughter Theodora, teaming up with lovely Gary Barlow and getting himself a haircut to remind us of the glory days.

This summer he'll embark on his second tour in just over a year ( Buy Robbie Williams tour tickets now with Mirror Tickets ), with Olly Murs supporting him. 

And in an er, unexpected turn of events Robbie has suggested he might just go the extra mile for his Take The Crown tour.

"There is lots of me singing my songs and live sex.

"I plan to do a lot of live sex on stage and I am practising by having a lot of un-live sex, but it didn't work out very well," he told The Sun.

He clarified the event would be a solo performance saying: "I can promise you nudity and the sex will be with myself."
