Barlow: 'Rudebox not classic Robbie'

Take That singer Gary Barlow has slammed Robbie Williams' latest effort Rudebox, claiming the single is not the pop star's best work.

Barlow is enjoying renewed success with the reformed British boy band after the group completing a sold-out UK arena tour earlier this year.

The Back for Good hitmaker says: "Do I like Rudebox? If I'm honest, I prefer classic Robbie, and I don't think of Rudebox as a classic Robbie song."
