Robbie Williams fans get excited. He’ll be back with a new solo studio album next year. The LP will be Robbie’s ninth and his first since 2009, when he released Reality Killed The Video Star – which went platinum across Europe.

His new project follows Robbie’s successful reunion with Take That and will be issued worldwide by Universal Music.

Williams said: “I’m really thrilled to be joining the Universal family at what I think is the most exciting time in my career.”

Williams is recording the album in his own studio in Los Angeles.

Robbie Williams has sold over 60 million albums over his solo career and has won more Brit Awards than any other artist in history.

Robbie reckons this album is gona be his best yet, he now has time to focus on writing.

He also took time out this year to design his new clothing range Farrell, inspired by his granddad. He’s always wanted to design his own range but finding the time was difficult….
