Robbie Williams admits new album title is "obnoxious"

Robbie Williams has revealed that he thinks the title of his latest album is a bit "obnoxious".

The singer released the record 'Take The Crown' in November - his first studio since 2009's 'Reality Killed The Video Star'.

The album hit No.1 upon its release and Williams soon after announced a massive outdoor 2013 European tour, including dates at a number of UK stadiums.

The Take That man has admitted that he reckons 'Take The Crown' is an "obnoxious" title - but that was the plan. He said:

"It's an obnoxious title. I started out obnoxious and I plan to carry that out. 'Take The Crown' means I'm serious this time, I'm going on tour and what-not."

Williams also commented on reports that his own tour greatly outsold that of bandmate Gary Barlow, adding:

"In the papers it was like, 'Gary Barlow has outsold Robbie Williams six to one with his tour, phenomenal change in fortune...'. I was like, 'Oh God'. Gary, I highly, highly respect him. Isn't he the soundest guy? He's a lovely man and he's the first port of call for advice. He's a very, very wise man. He's very much dad."
