Oasis are returning this summer and, catching that same nostalgia wave, Robbie Williams has now announced his long-awaited studio comeback Britpop.
The ex-Take That man's first album since 2019's The Christmas Present (and first non-seasonal LP since 2016's The Heavy Entertainment Show) is led by the single 'Rocket', that features a massive big name guest star.

As is immediately obvious from the crunching sound, the boasts the talent of none other than Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi.
And as well as swinging by the studio to lend a hand, Tony also took the time to appear in the video to show off doing his thing.
Iommi is this year already part of a comeback that was much more unexpected than Robbie Williams's return.

Together with Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler and – for the first time since 2005 – drummer Bill Ward, Iommi will reunite for one final show as part of Black Sabbath.
The band will play a small number of songs at the Back to the Beginning charity extravaganza.
The all-star show takes place at Villa Park in BIrmingham on July 5, 2025, with proceeds donated to Cure Parkinsons, Birmingham Children's Hospital and Acorns Children's Hospice.
