ROBBIE WILLIAMS reunited with one band in 2010.
Now he’s planning on getting back together with another — but this lot won’t all fit on TAKE THAT’s giant robot Om that the singer kept from their last tour.Robbie will record his second big band album once he completes his upcoming solo tour.
His first Rat Pack-style album, Swing When You’re Winning, was a No1 in 2001.
A source said: “Robbie can’t sit still, he always wants to do something different from the previous album.
“He’s currently weighing up which swing classics to record. There are so many, so it’s going to be a tough choice.
“He loved Swing When You’re Winning and is looking forward to playing with a big band again.”
Robbie's spokesman confirmed: "He has always planned to do another swing record and is always working on it in the background of other projects.
"Swing When You're Winning was actually his biggest selling album to date and he loved it. Who knows when it will be, though, as he embarks on a 30 date Stadium tour this summer"
Robbie starts his Take The Crown tour on June 18 in Manchester, after performing warm-up gigs between September and November last year.
His last album, which featured No1 single Candy, reverted back to his classic pop sound after various experimental releases.
Despite his return to a winning formula, Robbie’s thirst for mixing it up clearly hasn’t gone away — and his new release could feature more special guests.
Swing When You’re Winning contained a number of duets, including tracks with Robbie’s mate JONATHAN WILKES and Hollywood A-lister NICOLE KIDMAN.
Now they’re best pals again, you can’t rule out a big band duet with GARY BARLOW — which would be well up the Take That frontman’s street.
And Robbie clearly has the confidence to start experimenting once more.
During the promotion of his upcoming tour he laid down the gauntlet to his pop rivals. He’s even starting to sound like a WWE wrestler.
Robbie said: “There’s nobody that’s come along and said I deserve to be in stadiums. This is my domain, I own this s*** and I think that’s me.”
A spokesman said: "He has always planned to do another swing record and is always working on it in the background of other projects.
"Swing When You're Winning was actually his biggest selling album to date and he loved it. Who knows when it will be, though, as he embarks on a 30 date Stadium tour this summer"
