Robbie and Gary to release duet
09 Jun 10
Robbie Williams and former bandmate Gary Barlow have recorded their first song together after 15 years and are set to release the single later this year.
The duet, which put to rest debates about how they would celebrate their revived friendship musically, will be released on October 4.
Shame, jointly penned by the pair, is the first duet the two singers have recorded together.
Williams left Take That in 1985 and then had a bitter fall out with Barlow for many years. But over the past two years, they have patched up differences, with Williams even sharing a stage with his former bandmates for charity at the Children In Need concert last November.
Most recently, they were seen together at the charity football event Soccer Aid at Old Trafford at the weekend.
Their new single is part of Williams' new double CD greatest hits album, titled In And Out Of Consciousness, due to be released later this year.
The 36-year-old said: "And the great thing about the album is that it's not only a celebration of my past but also a bridge to the future. The fact that part of the future includes a name from my past makes it all the more poignant for me."
