Williams teams up with Scissor Sister

British singer Robbie Williams is teaming up with Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears for a duet on his next album.

The Angels star, who Shears called a "gay man" in a UK magazine interview, will team up with the Laura hitmakers for a track on his next album after he befriended them at this month's Brit Awards.

A source says: "Robbie was so impressed with them that he asked singer Jake Shears what sound he should go for next and now a deal has been struck.

"They plan to get together in New York as soon as possible."
