Robbie Williams‘ feud with neighbour Jimmy Page has reignited over plans to fell a “fungus-infested” tree.
The feud has sparked once again over Williams’ request to Kensington and Chelsea Council to axe a tree in his garden, according to Yahoo! News.
Williams’ tree surgeon Michael Goatly has said the Norway maple is reportedly afflicted with honey fungus, but now an objection has been apparently submitted by Williams’ neighbours. Page has not been explicitly listed in the objection, but he did previously object to Williams’ plans to cut down trees last year.
“There is no explanation as to why this tree need be felled, only a series of photos showing parts of it are damaged,” the objection reads.
“Should there not be a written report that accompanies each proposed felling and what courses of action could be done before the final resort of felling this tree?”
The pair, who live in West London, have been involved in a long-running feud since 2014. Page originally objected to Williams’ home renovations after concerns its vibrations would cause “catastrophic damage”.
Despite the Take That frontman being granted permission to renovate his reported £17.5million home, Williams complained that he couldn’t move into his home, and later calling the Led Zeppelin guitarist “mentally ill” – for which he then apologised.
The feud flared up once again in 2018 after reportedly Williams wanted to build an underground gym and pool, with Page once again citing his fears that the vibrations caused from the renovations could cause “irreversable damage”. That same year, Kensington and Chelsea Council granted the singer permission to go ahead with the changes.
In other news, Robbie Williams has shared his thoughts on Oasis’ reunion – and made a subtle dig at Noel Gallagher.
Williams is set to star as himself in biopic Better Man, set for release on Christmas Day in the US – it dramatises Williams’ life from childhood to his days in Take That and, subsequently, his successful career as a solo artist. The catch is that the film will have Williams portrayed entirely as a CGI monkey.
