The singer, 50, said during an appearance onWatch What Happens Live with Andy Cohenon Monday, Jan. 13, that he once taunted a group of fans at his show for not standing up — in what turned out to be his most mortifying moment on stage.

“I confused the wheelchair section in my show for people who weren’t standing up and enjoying themselves,” Williams told hostAndy Cohen. “And I berated them and I got the whole audience to point at them and boo and then stamp their feet and go, ‘Out! Out! Out!’ ”

Cohen, 56, shook his head as fellow guestJulia Stilesgasped along with the audience in reaction to the story.

“And then I looked over to the side of the stage and my manager was there going like this [motioning waving arms] and he went [motioning pushing a wheelchair],” continued Williams. “And I was like, ‘Oh … okay.’ ”

The “Feel” singer added that the incident “happened before phones,” to which Cohen and Stiles, 43, both replied, “Thank god!”

Williams posted a cartoon that read, “Sometimes your favorite artists fart on stage” as he explained in the caption that he had “horrendous” food poisoning during the British pop band’s reunion tour.

“A few days later we were playing at the Ajax stadium in Amsterdam," Williams wrote. “Still not anywhere near well enough I ventured to the stage. I was in the precarious position of not being able to ‘trust a fart.' Which was unfortunate because that’s what I needed to do during my opening song. Let me entertain you.”

“As I’m sure you can imagine, it didn’t remain just a fart. But ever the pro I retained my composure and committed to the performance 100%,” recalled the singer, adding, “A gig parp any other time can be liberating.”
