That's according to his best friend Jonathan Wilkes, who said that the star had almost finished the record. Robbie's former band mates revealed earlier this month that they'd heard some of Robbie's new material a few weeks ago when they visited the star at his Los Angeles home. Mark Owen said at the time: “It's really, really good - in fact it's even better than ours," he said. "I was a bit gutted. But now Jonathan has revealed to Mirror.co.uk that the singer new album is heading for the shops within the next few months. Talking at the launch of his pantomime Aladdin in his and Robbie's home town of Stoke-On-Trent, Jonathan said: "He's on really good form. He's enjoying his time off and he's looking forward to releasing new material next year. You can't keep a good man down for long!" However, when asked if he shared Robbie's passion for aliens, Jonathan joked: "Nah, him and his mate ET, they're staying together!" As previously reported on Mirror.co.uk, Robbie travelled over to Stoke last month from his Los Angeles a fortnight ago for a holiday and hooked up with Jonathan then. Meanwhile, Jonathan starts his starring panto role in Aladdin at the Regents Theatre in Stoke from December 18, alongside Coronation Street's Vicky Entwistle.

December 3, 200816 yr This is the first time I've anticipated a comeback from him for a long time :o I fear he might play it safe though :( The media backlash and the poor choice of first single held back his last album which was his best in years from doing as well as his previous ones. He certainly proved he has the ability to do something different but as long as it's good I don't care! Fingers crossed this is as good as we hope!
