Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi can be heard shredding on the brand-new single by none other than pop legend Robbie Williams.
The unlikely duo have joined forces for electric new single Rocket, which was co-written by Tony alongside Karl Brazil and Tom Longworth, and is taken from Robbie’s newly-announced album BRITPOP (due out this autumn via Columbia Records).
Speaking about the record, Robbie announces, “I set out to create the album that I wanted to write and release after I left Take That in 1995. It was the peak of Britpop and a golden age for British music.
“I’ve worked with some of my heroes on this album; it’s raw, there are more guitars and it’s an album that’s even more upbeat and anthemic than usual. There’s some ‘Brit’ in there and there’s certainly some ‘pop’ too – I’m immensely proud of this as a body of work and I’m excited for fans to hear this album.
“I also can’t wait to perform a song or two from it on my upcoming BRITPOP tour, which I’m opening in the UK, naturally.”
