Robbie Williams playing through sickness

Robbie Williams is promising to perform even though he's sick.

The U.K. pop star's record label issued a statement yesterday that said Robbie insists he'll perform at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Sweden on Thursday although he is sick, Live Daily reports.

"Robbie Williams has been directed by doctors to take time out of his schedule to rest," read a statement from EMI. "Suffering from severe gastro-enteritis and exhaustion, Robbie is however determined to perform as planned at Thursday's MTV awards."

Robbie, who is nominated for five MTV Europe awards, is scheduled to perform "Kids" with Australian pop singer Kylie Minogue on Thursday.
