Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow have co-written a song from the point of view of Morrissey’s stalker.<\/p>\n
\nThe former Take That bandmates have reunited for a new song called Morrissey on Robbie’s upcoming Britpop album which takes inspiration from the former Smiths frontman.<\/p>\n
\nDuring an interview with comedian Joe Lycett at London’s Groucho Club during an album playback event this week, Robbie said: \u201cI\u2019ve collabbed with Gary on a lot of tracks, actually!<\/p>\n
\n“It\u2019s great because that particular track is a song made by Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow, about Morrissey.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nComedian Joe admitted he was “surprised” by how the Relight My Fire hitmakers tackled the controversial and outspoken singer in the song.<\/p>\n
\nHe pointed out: “It surprised me because it\u2019s really tender. You\u2019re very considerate about him in a way that I wouldn\u2019t be.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe 51-year-old pop star replied: “Well, the reason I\u2019m considerate about him is because I\u2019m writing it from the point of view of a stalker.<\/p>\n
\n“It\u2019s somebody that\u2019s stalking Morrissey and is completely obsessed and in love with him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nRobbie – who will be performing the new album along with his 1997 debut Life Thru A Lens in full at Camden’s Dingwalls on October 9 – explained why the upcoming collection is so important to him.<\/p>\n
\nIt’s been described as the record he wanted to write after quitting Take That in 1995.<\/p>\n
\nThe Angels singer explained: “Well, I\u2019ve kind of been musically a bit aimless for a little while, because I haven\u2019t known, really, what to do. I\u2019ve chased yesterday an awful lot, which happens.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cFortunately for me, I was in the pocket for so long and my rise was so long. And then when commercial radio or whatever stops playing you, you think, \u2018S***! What was it that I did?\u2019<\/p>\n
\n“And then you look backwards. I\u2019ve just spent the last 15 years looking backwards. And I just think with this album, if I am gonna look backwards, I might as well just clear the decks, go back to the start and head off from there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
