Williams told BBC Radio 2 host Ken Bruce: "I get tremendous stage fright that's getting in the way of me enjoying it... it's terrifying. I want to find a way around it."

Return to form
The High Definition screening is being billed as the largest live music cinematic event of its kind in Europe.
The concert is the opening gig for this year's BBC Electric Proms festival where artists try something different.
A string and horn section and full band will accompany Williams for the gig.

Williams' new CD is being seen as a comeback to form for the singer. His last album Rudebox was sickly received, despite going to number one in 2006.
