“It’s raw, there are more guitars and it’s an album that’s even more upbeat and anthemic than usual”: Robbie Williams drafts Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi to play guitar on his new single

Here's a collaboration no one saw coming. Robbie Williams has recruited Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi to play on his new single, Rocket, the first track shared from the former Take That singer’s forthcoming album, Britpop.

The track features electric guitar from Iommi throughout, and is a sort of bland high-energy pop-rocker that is more P!nk than Paranoid, and comes and goes in under three minutes. Whatever you can say about Williams he is at least eager to get right down to it.
