Speaking about Robbie’s new music 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.”

Karl – who has been working as Robbie’s live musical director since the XXV tour – also revealed that Supergrass frontman Gaz Coombes also features on a track on the upcoming LP.

He said the album is a mix of Robbie’s guitar-heavy Nineties solo sound with present day pop influences.

Karl added: “It’s predominantly a guitar record. Let’s face it, he can do what he wants.

“Modern-day Elvis I call him, he’s absolutely bossing top of the tree.”

I couldn’t agree more.
