Robbie Talks To GQ Magazine

6 Oct 2009

Be sure to pop into your local newsagent on Thursday morning as Robbie is not only featured in the November UK edition of GQ magazine, but is also starring on the front cover, which you can check out below!

Talking exclusively to the gentleman's style publication about his new album, Reality Killed The Video Star, Robbie says it's "as good as anything I've ever done, if not better. I know I say that every time, but that's what I felt and this is what I feel again. It's ace. It's amazing. So then, all eyes on me. Scary."

Here's a few more snippets from Robbie's interview with the magazine...

On his move back to England before returning to LA;
"That's me. Will do anything on an impulse."
 
On meeting Ayda:
"Then she came along. I've always been, 'You're not getting in, you're not getting in...' I never gave anybody a chance really."

On the new album;
"A happy medium" between angular experimentation and commercial, mainstream music.

About the post-split chat with Take That;
"We all had a massive chat, one of those chats that other bands who split up can't seem to have.  It was really healing, if that doesn't sound too nancy.  And at the end of it everything had gone and we were in the kitchen and I had my arm round Gary.  I just loved him.  I think he felt the same way.  It was really beautiful."

The nine-page feature includes an exclusive photoshoot of Robbie at his inimitable best... take a look at some of the fantastic photos, taken by Simon Emmett, below.

Remember this?

The GQ feature is Robbie's first with GQ for four years, where he was featured on the front cover of the UK edition in November 2005 with a handful of scantily-clad ladies (below)!

let's keep things nice. Do not fool around with somebodies boyfriend. I just can not, although (too difficult) the messed up hair, the dog in bed look very tempting. I hope to be honest, you know some things I can't refuse...

I Don't Read The GQ Magazine

I Don't Read The GQ Magazine ~ I like you on the cover, Robbie & You look beautiful in that blue sweater, but I don't like you holdin up the ve fingers on the hand with the love tattoo...... ???..... The all white shots look cute with the poops, it's a little bit reminicent of the BeeGees disco days --and your song ''Last Days Of Disco'' really sounds cool, I love the sound of your voice on that one. - xx

Think the only chance we have of getting the UK GQ in Australia is through those dreaded scalpers on ebay, there's a couple already listed on ebay UK.

Loved milton keynes and would

Loved milton keynes and would love to see you live again but not at the cost of your happiness or sanity. Would quite easily settle for a close encounters live dvd for now. There's someone special out there for everyone if Ayda is your one hold on to her go have some babies and be happy.
