ROBBIE Williams has been reunited with Take That bandmate Gary Barlow to record a song about Smiths frontman Morrissey.

The 51-year-old star hinted at details of the collaboration during a launch event for his first studio album of original songs in almost a decade, called BRITPOP.

He said of the track about outspoken singer Morrissey, who co-wrote Smith hit Hand in Glove with Johnny Marr: "I'm writing it from the point of view of a stalker.

"So it's somebody that's stalking Morrissey and is completely obsessed and in love with him."

Gary and Robbie fell out after the latter quit Take That for solo success.

But they later reconciled and the former lead singer reunited with the band for their Progress tour in 2011.

The pair also performed together the previous year at a Help for Heroes gig at Twickenham stadium in London.
