Robbie Williams is planning the ultimate revenge on an online troll by turning their insults into his next big hit.
The Angels star tells The Sun he was riled by a Twitter user who published a book containing nasty remarks about one of his many songs.
However, Robbie isn’t letting the backlash get him down – in fact, he’s planning to steal the jibes and craft them into lyrics for his new album.
He says: “I had a song out and my narcissistic personality took me to go and check out Twitter, just to see what people were saying.
“And you know, this was the worst thing to do. The top thing was a guy just laying into me, awful, awful nastiness.
“He’d just written a book and he’s got quotes from his book there and four or five of them are very, very lyrical.
“So I’ve stolen his best quotes and I’m going to put them into a song really soon, just to p**s him off. And there’s nothing he can do about it.”
Robbie released his last non-festive studio album, The Heavy Entertainment Show, back in 2016.
The star previously revealed his new record is a “dance album” and, while he’s unsure of a release date for the project, he recently teased a new duet with Kylie Minogue.
Robbie and Kylie teamed up on 2000’s Kids – taken from her seventh LP, Light Years – with the Take That star also co-writing fan favourite, Your Disco Needs You.
Hinting he has “big plans” for the collaboration, Robbie said: “I have a song with Miss Kylie Minogue, I have big plans for it if she is up for it. I have big plans.”
“Kylie and Robbie have recorded a new song together,” an insider confirmed.
“It’s their first collab since Kids in 2000 and Robbie is keen to make it a single.
“Due to Covid there are no concrete plans for the release.
“It won’t be a mini drop like Kylie recently did with her Studio 2054 remix of Real Groove with Dua Lipa.”
