The return of Robbie...

We imagine his ex-bandmates in Take That will be among those interested in hearing what Robbie has come up with after spending the last few months in the studio in London working on his new material.

His new single, "Bodies", will be released digitally on the 11th October and then on other formats on October 12th.

This will be followed by his new album "Reality Killed the Video Star" which is out on November 9th.

Both the single and album were produced by Trevor Horn, who has worked with artists such as Pet Shop Boys, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Cher, Simple Minds, Seal and Paul McCartney.

Acorrding to his blog, Robbie re-wrote the lyrics to one his tracks as a tribute to Michael Jackson following the stars death.

Robbie has consistently set new records for album and ticket sales, not least when he entered the Guinness Book of Records in 2006 having sold 1.6 million tickets on one day for his 2006 tour. That tour played to 3.7 million people in total. Three years previously he played the biggest live music event in UK history when his 3 nights at Knebworth saw him play to over 365,000 people.
