Robbie Williams' fifth solo album 'Intensive Care' is due out towards the end of October and shows Robbie taking a change in direction from his pop superstar image to that of an indie rocker.

'Intensive Care' was co-written with Stephen Duffy in Williams' Hollywood mansion and inspired by bands like Bloc Party and Kraftwerk.

While Robbie claims this is "the best album he has written lyrically", he does admit that he says that for every album, but "thinks" he means it this time.

It will be the first time Robbie has done an album launch outside the UK. He will perform a one off show in Berlin on Sunday the 9th of October. It sold out in minutes and will be filmed and broadcast directly into cinemas across Europe.

Robbie Williams has accrued 21 top ten singles in the UK alone. Six of his albums have reached No. 1 in the UK chart and his global album sales currently stand at over 35 million. At the last count, he has won 15 Brit Awards (a record), three Ivor Novellos, a Q Magazine Classic Songwriting Award and all manner of worldwide MTV gongs. 'Live at Knebworth', the commemorative album recorded over three nights in 2003 at which he played to 375,000 fans (another record), is the fastest selling live album the UK has ever seen.
