Robbie Williams ventures into classical music with Beethoven inspired new track

Robbie Williams is rolling back the years by taking fragments of a Beethoven classic for his late release.

He will put together a 'symphonic masterpiece' - a new version of Angels mashed-up with the German composer and pianist's Unfinished 10th Symphony.

The former Take That star will show it off in Barcelona later today.

Robbie has teamed up with German telecommunications company Deutsche Telekom and will debut the song at the Mobile World Congress.

Talking about the unique collab, Robbie said: "I'm looking forward to the preview of this interesting version at Mobile World Congress. For me, it's fascinating how much technology is now enabling art."

Robbie went on to tease that he’s got plenty of other new music in the bank, saying he’s “constantly writing new songs".

The star added: "There is stuff that’s on my computer now that I wrote two years ago that probably won’t see the light of day for another two years.”

Deutsche Telekom said: "We're particularly pleased to be working with Robbie Williams on one of the best songs in pop history to explore the possibilities of AI creativity."

Robbie has reportedly secretly made a music comeback via dance group Lufthaus.

He has teamed up with producers Tim Metcalfe and Flynn Francis to release new tunes.

The group said: “This project has been keeping us busy in the studio throughout the pandemic, so we’re delighted to now be releasing the first single.

“We’ve purposely kept Lufthaus unrevealed, so we’re looking forward to releasing more music and revealing more material over the coming months.”

Gary Barlow recently opened up about his "beef" with his former bandmate.

The singer and ITV star has explained how the pair had been in "competition" with each other during their time together in Take That, with natural pop star Robbie wanting to hog the limelight.

"It’s possibly where we were in competition and the others (bandmates) weren’t, really," he recalled on the Out To Lunch podcast.

"Rob was wanting to get to the front. He had a great voice, very natural given talent he had. My beef with Rob, and we still talk about this, is that I’ll spend six weeks rehearsing a five-minute piece to perfect it, every move and note I’ll know what I’m doing."
