The former Take That star has announced he is to release his eighth studio album after nearly three years in the wilderness.He has been keeping a low profile in LA for the past couple of years, where he has been sporting a beard and pursuing his interest in UFOs.
Quite a difference from the suave looking Robbie looking pensively back at us in the promotional shot for his new album, which is entitled "Reality Killed the Video Star.} He wears a black suit and tie with his tattooed arms covered up.
The singer will be hoping to make a successful comeback following his critically panned 2006 album "Rudebox."
While he has been taking a break from music his former Take That band mates have enjoyed a hugely successful comeback.
Williams has been working on his new album with Trevor Horn, the legendary producer, who in his younger days was one half of electro-pop duo The Buggles. They wrote and recorded the number one hit Video Killed The Radio Star - which was the inspiration for the title of Williams' new album.
Since leaving Take That in 1996, Williams has had much success as a solo artist with six number one singles. Every album he had released in the UK - including Rudebox - have reached number one in the charts and he has sold a total of 55 million records around the world.
His new single Bodies will be released on October 12th while the album Reality Killed the Video Star will hit shops on November 9th.
