(will be interesting how it's doing compared to the collab between Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett)
Quote:
ROBBIE WILLIAMS put ADELE and her family up at his gaff in LA for a few weeks earlier this year.
Now the TAKE THAT man’s expat hospitality has proved well worth it.
The Grammy, Brit and Oscar-winning singer has agreed to sing a duet on his next album, a return to a swing theme.
It’s a big result for Robbie, Adele and her management have knocked back countless offers over the past year.
And it’s good news for her too — Robbie’s 2001 Swing When You’re Winning album is his biggest seller. In 2009 Adele, who also likes a night out with Robbie’s wife AYDA, said: “I’m not doing collaborations. I love to sing with people live rather than on record.
“If I could do one with anyone — Robbie? Any day.”
He’s pencilled in studio time with her for later this year.
A source said: “Adele and Robbie have really hit it off.
“They are great friends and talked at length about doing something together when she was in LA with him ahead of the Oscars last month. They threw some ideas around but haven’t decided exactly what song they’d like to work on, things are in the early stages.”
Robbie has previously dueted with KYLIE MINOGUE on 2000 hit Kids and NICOLE KIDMAN sang Something Stupid with him. Swing When You’re Winning also featured duets with actors RUPERT EVERETT and JANE HORROCKS and a digitally assisted duet with Robbie’s Rat Pack hero FRANK SINATRA.
But Adele has never recorded a single with another artist (before someone mentioned Fire and Flame, it wasn't a single)
Earlier this week Robbie ruled out any future indie collaborations by slamming “three chord knobheads” of the Nineties.
And they are hitting back one by one. NORTHERN UPROAR are the latest, claiming Robbie asked to join them in the late Nineties.
Oh come on, who had the intimate childhood pictures: The Sun
and the sport section is always on top.
And we know Robbie is a charmer, he had all five Spice Girls in bed (ADELE said the Spice Girls are responsible who I am ) and some of the All Saints(ask Liam Gallagher ).
