“Just like to apologize for the object that fell onto the microphone yesterday. It was deeply unprofessional and people worried about me,” Williams, 52, said in a Monday, July 20, Instagram<\/a> video. “But it’s OK \u2018cause I have several more.”<\/p>\n

In the clip, Williams then laughed as he stuck out his tongue to reveal two more mints.<\/p>\n

“Just woke up and feeling\u2026. Mint \ud83d\ude00 x,” Williams captioned the video.<\/p>\n

Williams’ video comes one day after he made waves online when eagle-eyed fans noticed a mint popping out of his mouth while he spoke to a German TV station at the Sunday, July 19, championship game in East Rutherford, New Jersey.<\/p>\n

In the viral clip, Williams picked up the small lozenge from the microphone without skipping a beat. He then held the mint in his hand before rubbing his forehead, with the bit getting stuck on his face.<\/p>\n

Williams was on hand on Sunday to perform the official 2026 FIFA World Cup anthem “Desire” alongside Nicole Scherzinger<\/strong> and Laura Pausini<\/strong> as part of the World Cup closing ceremony<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The musician, for his part, has been candid about his struggles with substance abuse in the past.<\/p>\n

“I was a fully-fledged, fully-blown, self-medicating addict,” Williams toldThe Irish Times<\/em><\/a> in 2022, recalling his life in the \u201890s. “So unfortunately, it wasn’t a lot of fun – which is why I’m a sober person right now.”<\/p>\n

He continued, “But it wasn’t as heady and as exciting as you might believe in movies and stuff. It was just sad and depressing and tiring, and y’know\u2026 the heart ached. And I was lost.”<\/p>\n

Four years later, Williams reflected on his sobriety journey.<\/p>\n

“I haven’t drunk in 25 years,” he told Spanish paper El Pa\u00eds<\/em><\/a> earlier this month. “That part isn’t difficult for me. The difficult part is dealing with life as it is. But now I trust myself. I don’t think that because I have a day of anxiety I’ll go out and do cocaine and relapse. I’ll simply sit with it and live with it. I know myself and trust myself more than before.”<\/p>\n

Williams went on to admit that he “probably wouldn’t have started drinking or done drugs” if he could do something differently from his time in the group Take That.<\/p>\n

“But then again, I’m all of these things because I did,” he explained. “I don’t know, if I had a time machine, that I would change anything. I just wouldn’t be as affected by mentally ill grown ups.”<\/p>\n

If you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse, contact the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) National Helpline<\/a> at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).<\/em><\/p>\n
