Solo deal for Robbie Williams?
Sunday 13 March 2011
It's only been 8 months since Robbie Williams was welcomed back into the Take That family and now, according to the News of the World, he is already planning a new solo career without Mark, Jason, Howard and Gary, once they complete this summer's 'Progress Live Tour'.
A source told the paper; "Robbie has been very committed to this Take That project and can't wait to tour with the guys but he never said he wouldn't record his own music again. It's important for him to have his own solo deal because he is one of the most successful British recording artists."
Universal is ahead of the pack to snap up the 'Angels' singer and it is thought that Williams is very keen to sign on the dotted line with the record label after they impressed him with how they promoted Taker That's reunion.
The source added; "He has every major record company chasing him to sign a new solo contract but Robbie's been very impressed with the way Universal sold and promoted 'Progress', the latest Take That album. He thinks they'd be great for his career."
Tickets for the 'Progress Live Tour', which comes to Croke Park this June, broke sales records shifting 1.1million tickets and selling out completely, within hours of going on sale.
