  1. @seanbwparker · 8h While Liz Hurley is rumoured to be stepping out with Billy Ray Cyrus, I notice Robbie Williams is back with new album BRITPOP. It's a nineties pile-up He was being revisionist and ironic 30 years ago. Now he's meta-revisionist and ironic He does write some bangers though

  3. 𝐌𝐲𝐑𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧 @RockTheseTweets · 12h I've been a Robbie Williams fan since The Ego Has Landed and although not all of his albums have resonated with me, I admire him for trying new things. Case in point, his brand new track "Rocket" features the legendary Tony Iommi! it's a banger!

  5. I wonder if will the brollie's make an appearance in the upcoming tour Only 6 days to blast off 🤩
  6. I am posting this here as I think it is relevant to the whole Britpop concept & what is going on in his head when writing the album Glastonbury ’95 It’s very difficult to describe the musical landscape of the time. Coolness had a militancy. Indie had a militancy. There were three or four music periodicals; each one acting like the town hall bell. Ringing out across the village to tell us; how we should behave. What we should like. Who we should hate. I was in a boy band. Antithesis: A person or thing that is the direct opposite of someone or something else. I was in a boy band, and there were rules. Rules set down by management. Rules laid down by peers. And unspoken laws etched into the locker doors of every teenage boy in this classroom we’ll call Earth. I was in a boy band. “You exist in a white box made of lavender hormones and naffness. You must stay in your box. And never, ever leave.” It was a very difficult place for me to exist. Difficult. Surreal. Head-melty. You see, I’d sing “A Million Love Songs” on Top of the Pops on Thursday night… …and then neck a gram of speed and four Es on Saturday, dancing my bollocks off at Miss Moneypenny’s. There were no phones. No cameras. No evidence. No harm, no foul. And, eventually, no serotonin. To the people looking on, it must’ve been like seeing your headmaster cutting his lawn. A person, an image, completely out of place. Out of context. Out of reason. I was in a boy band. And boy band members do not go to Glastonbury. You see - the thing is… I did though. _________________________ 📸 - Mick Hutson 🖼️ - Kate Oleska. Based on the original photo by Mick Hutson.

  12. Robbie Williams on working with Tony Iommi, ‘BRITPOP’, Glastonbury and his bromance with Soft PlayWatch Williams and Soft Play share the love as the 'Angels' icon tells us: "If hedonism is Jaffa Cake-based or Cadbury's Fruit And Nut, then I'm in" ByAndrew Trendell 23rd May 2025 Robbie Williams has spoken to NME about working with Black Sabbath‘s Tony Iommi, his new album ‘BRITPOP’, his bromance with Soft Play, and the chances of making an appearance at Glastonbury. Fresh from announcing his new record ‘BRITPOP’ with the huge single ‘Rocket’ featuring metal legend Iommi, Williams was in London yesterday (Thursday May 22) where he received the Icon Award at the Ivors 2025. “I’m trying to be in the moment and not let the moment take me,” he told NME shortly after. “I was allowed in, so at least I’m not on the outside looking in.” Asked about collaborating with Iommi for his comeback single, the ‘Angels’ hitmaker replied: “How lucky am I? The audacity for both of us – [one of Black Sabbath] featuring on a Robbie Williams song. God bless him for doing that, and God bless me for my audacity!” Advertisement Tony Iommi and Robbie Williams. Credit: Leo Baron And new album ‘BRITPOP’ – will that recapture all the noise, energy, colour and hedonism of the halcyon days of the ’90s? “If hedonism is Jaffa Cake-based or Cadbury’s Fruit And Nut, then I’m in,” Williams replied. “Everything else I’ve got to park until I die. If I don’t park it, it’ll kill me.”. Elaborating on his guitar-heavy new sound, he continued: “I was playing it safe and I’ve not been driving my own car. I’ve not had my hands on the wheel through second-thinking myself and guessing what people like. I just wanted to do something that I like.” With a tour of his own fast approaching (“You can expect the world’s Number One light entertainer – entertaining you in a light way that ranges from light to heavy depending on how many drinks you’ve had,” he joked), he downplayed the chances of him embodying the Britpop spirit and attending the reunion tour of his former rivals Oasis. “Not only will you not be seeing me at any Oasis shows, you will not be seeing me at any shows full stop,” he admitted. “I’m a wonderful agoraphobe, and a very happy agoraphobe.” After playing together at Hyde Park last summer, Williams was introduced to the Ivors with a speech from superfans Soft Play – who also joined us for our interview backstage. “These lads appeal to the 14-year-old version of me that wanted to rage hard, be cool, shout, be aggressive in a kind way – which is what you are. You’re aggressive in the kindest way possible,” said Williams, turning to the punk duo. “There is a bit of a love-fest. I don’t get to hang out with them as much as I would like to. Hopefully they’ll come and join me on tour for a little bit. “This is a shout-out to the 14-year-old me going, ‘Look at the people I like liking me’.” “He soundtracked a big portion of our lives with bangers, and now he’s our mate and we love him,” said singer and drummer Isaac Holman, before guitarist Laurie Vincent added: “Just in the Volvo V70 as a kid, I didn’t listen to anything more than Robbie – and he’s our dad.” Could a supergroup performance at Glastonbury be on the cards? “Maybe…” replied Williams, coyly. 😉 Williams is set to release ‘BRITPOP’ this autumn following his upcoming UK tour kicking off this month. The tour will then continue across Europe with dates in countries including Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Sweden. Find a list of new dates below, and visit here to buy tickets.

  16. U2, Charli XCX and Robbie Williams honoured at Ivor songwriting awards Charli XCX (left) was named Songwriter of the Year while Robbie Williams won the Music Icon Award.PHOTOS: REUTERS UPDATED May 23, 2025, 01:57 PM LONDON - British singers Charli XCX, Robbie Williams, Myles Smith and Trinidadian rapper Berwyn triumphed on May 22 at the Ivors, Britain’s annual awards for songwriters and screen composers, with Irish rockers U2 adding to their honours with a fellowship. U2 members Bono, Adam Clayton, The Edge and Larry Mullen Jr follow English singers Paul McCartney, Sting and Kate Bush as well American rocker Bruce Springsteen in receiving an Ivors Academy Fellowship, the highest honour bestowed by the Britain-based association. They are the first Irish songwriters to do so. “When we gathered in Larry Mullen’s kitchen in 1976, this was unimaginable - we never thought that the band could be this old,” Clayton, 65, said on stage. “We had the most basic of talents, but we believed that songs could take us anywhere because we’d already been to so many places, we just had to tell our story.” At the ceremony in London, Charli XCX, 32, was named Songwriter of the Year in recognition of her hit album Brat, which inspired a cultural phenomenon. But Brat lost out in the Album of the Year category to Berwyn’s Who Am I, with the judges hailing that record’s “vivid storytelling that transcends generations, race and social differences, offering a voice to those often unseen by society”. Best Contemporary Song went to singer Sans Soucis’ Circumnavigating Georgia, while Irish singer Orla Gartland’s Mine won Best Song Musically and Lyrically. Smith’s viral hit, Stargazing, won the Most Performed category. Williams, whose hits include Angels (1997) and Let Me Entertain You (1998), won the Music Icon Award “in recognition of a songwriting career that has touched millions and defined a generation”. “I’m just compelled to keep searching for the perfect pop tune and also compelled to express myself and try and get whatever’s inside out for whatever reason that is,” the 51-year-old told Reuters when asked how his songwriting had evolved over his career. American rock band The Killers’ frontman Brandon Flowers took the Special International Award, with judges describing the 43-year-old as “one of the most influential songwriters of his generation” for lyrics he penned for the band as well as for his solo work. British singer Lola Young, 24, who had led nominations with three nods, took the Rising Star Award. Named after the early 20th century Welsh composer, actor and entertainer Ivor Novello, the Ivor Awards were first handed out in 1956.
