Robbie Williams has pulled out of his scheduled performance at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Berlin next week.

A spokesperson stated that Williams has a “scheduling conflict” and will "no longer be performing at next week's MTV Europe Music Awards".

The 35-year-old is nominated in the Best Male category at the ceremony at the event held at the O2 World in the German capital on November 5.

Despite the cancellation, Robbie's other work commitments will be going ahead, including The Jonathan Ross Show next week.

Katy Perry is once again hosting this year's MTV EMAs, while Green Day, Foo Fighters, Leona Lewis, Jay-Z and Tokio Hotel will all be performing live on the night.
