Robbie Williams may know how to sing, but he probably didn't too well on his school's spelling bee.
Robbie recently had a hard time trying to figure out how to spell the name of Take That's new single "Patience."
The 32-year-old British singer, who quit the pop sensation in 1995 to pursue a solo career, tried to illegally download the hit song so he could hear it at his Los Angeles home, but was left embarrassed when he realized he couldn't actually spell "Patience."
The embarrassing incident occurred during an interview at Robbie's house.
After being quizzed about the track, he said, "I haven't heard the new single yet. The only way I can get it is by illegally downloading it. Hang on I will try and type it in. How do you spell "Patience?"
Once Robbie conquered his spelling difficulties and managed to find the music video online he found it too emotional to watch.
According to his website, he said sadly, "I think I will take a proper look at this later. It's all a bit too weird for me really."
