Robbie Williams has written a Michael Jackson tribute track for his new album.

The Feel singer admits he was left “very sad” by the King Of Pop’s passing on June 25, so he decided to fiddle around with the tracklisting and add the new song.

Record bosses were only told about the new addition at meetings last Thursday when they were set to finalize details of the autumn return.

“Michael Jackson died. It’s all so very sad. I couldn’t get a lyric to fit on one of the new songs, so when he passed away I rewrote it with him in mind,” Williams told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper.

“When I say I, I mean me and [songwriter] Don Black.”

“I was having a tough time with lyrics for a little while,” Robbie added. “Nothing would come out. Don kindly came in and gave me a helping hand and who better than the Pele of lyrics? I’m honored.

“My album is a killer. Old Robbie, New Robbie and a Robbie that neither of us has met.”
