Robbie Williams songs bring Kerstin Fritzl out of coma

Doctors played Robbie Williams songs to Kerstin Fritzl, who came out of a two-month coma and asked to see him live once released.

Kerstin Fritzl, the Austrian teenager whose admission to hospital led to the uncovering of a dungeon where she, her mother and siblings had been kept prisoner by her grandfather and father, Josef Fritzl, for nearly twenty years, has been brought out of a two month coma after she was played Robbie Williams songs.

Doctors played the singer's hits to Fritzl via headphones for three days, before she woke up and asked them to stop. Actually, it seems she likes Williams' music and has expressed a desire to see him live once she's released from hospital. Her doctor, Albert Reiter, told reporters: "She was sitting up in bed, waving her arms and dancing. One night I had to order her to finally go to sleep at 3am as she kept listening to Robbie Williams' CDs".
