Robbie Williams teases new album featuring Glenn Hughes and Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi

Robbie Williams has teased news of a new album, which will include collaborations with Glenn Hughes and Black Sabbath‘s Tony Iommi.

The semi-autobiographical film, which is directed and co-written by Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman), arrived in cinemas over Christmas and tells the story of Williams’ life and career. In the film, the singer is depicted as a CGI monkey, and the plot takes viewers from the early days in childhood to his first taste of success with boyband Take That and beyond.

In a recent interview with NME, both Williams and Gracey shared insight into how the idea of a movie came to life, and why they decided to have the singer depicted as a CGI monkey. Later in the discussion, however, their sights turned to new material and the rumours circulating that Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi would be appearing on a new track called ‘Rocket’.
