Robbie Williams has recorded an unlikely rock tune featuring Black Sabbath's axe-slayer Tonny Iommi. The former Take That star’s drummer Karl Brazil has let slip that the 'Angels' hitmaker got the heavy metal legend, 76, to record one of his signature guitar solos on the track 'Rocket' that will appear on an upcoming "guitar rock" album - alongside a feature from Supergrass frontman Gaz Coombes, 48. Speaking on the 'Percussion Discussion’ podcast, Karl said: “He’s got an album to follow that we’ve been working on.
"He’s working with various people, but I’ve been fortunate enough to do some songs with him. "We’ve done a track called Rocket with Tony, which is very random. "It’s great.
It’s a rocker and really cool. Tony has done his thing on it.” Teasing the record, the 47-year-old sticksman - who is also Robbie's live music director - quipped that the 50-year-old pop veteran is "a modern-day Elvis".
He said: “It’s predominantly a guitar record. Let’s face it, he can do what he wants." Earlier this year, Robbie revealed he has "written loads of songs" and is feeling more "ambitious" than ever.
He told Virgin Radio: "I’ve got loads of plans. I’ve written loads of songs, I’ve got my film [Better Man] at the end of this year and I’m doing Hyde Park in the summer. "I have never been busier, I’ve never been as ambitious as I am right now.
I am full of purpose, and I am loving life.” Since the release of 'The Christmas Present', Robbie dropped.
