British pop star Robbie Williams has quit record label EMI after 15 years and signed a lucrative new deal to relaunch his solo career. The Angels singer has been on EMI’s talent roster since quitting Take That and launching himself as a solo artist back in 2006, but he has now announced he will be joining Universal Music to make his comeback with a new album next year (12).

A representative for Take That has confirmed the group will continue as a four-piece following the departure of Robbie Williams. The singer rejoined his former bandmates last year (10) to make an album and take part in their Progress Live shows, marking his return to the road with the band for the first time in 15 years. The gigs came to an end in July (11) and Williams is now back working on solo material. His departure was confirmed by bandmate Gary Barlow in an interview with Britain’s Radio Times, with the singer saying, “We’re all happy. The fans have come along and been happy… Now Rob’s doing a solo record, and from this point it’s back to where it was. It ended perfectly. And you know what, we can revisit it whenever we want.

The ‘Angels’ singer and his actress wife Ayda Field plans to have children are well underway and they have even picked out names for their prospective babies already.
He said: “She wants a football team. I want two. A boy and a girl. “[We're going to call them] Woody and Sonny! Cool, eh? She wants to get on it now, but, I just got back off tour. There’s a stretch from now until Christmas and then, we’ll do some practising.” The 37-year-old star – who married Ayda in August 2010 – is glad he has waited until his late 30s to start a family, as he thinks it will make him a better father.
In an interview with The Times Magazine, he added: “I think up until now, with relationships, I’ve played it well. I waited till I was well into my thirties, I did what I needed to do, I got here without any kids. Now I’m a bit older, a bit more mature, kids will come.”
Robbie admitted he has had problems committing to one woman in the past, and was initially worried he would cheat on Ayda, but after five years together, he is now sure their bond is solid. He added: “I haven’t had to monogamise. I didn’t want to be capable. All the way through my twenties, I wanted someone who would fix me.
Then I wanted a maid. But I didn’t even find them.”
When asked if he was a good husband, Robbie replied he was and added: “I don’t cheat on her. That’s the main one. That was the main worry that I had.”
