Adele and Robbie are swingers

The Grammy, Brit and Oscar-winning singer has agreed to sing a duet on his next album, a return to a swing theme.

It’s a big result for Robbie, Adele and her management have knocked back countless offers over the past year.

And it’s good news for her too — Robbie’s 2001 Swing When You’re Winning album is his biggest seller. In 2009 Adele, who also likes a night out with Robbie’s wife AYDA, said: “I’m not doing collaborations. I love to sing with people live rather than on record.

Robbie has previously dueted with KYLIE MINOGUE on 2000 hit Kids and NICOLE KIDMAN sang Something Stupid with him. Swing When You’re Winning also featured duets with actors RUPERT EVERETT and JANE HORROCKS and a digitally assisted duet with Robbie’s Rat Pack hero FRANK SINATRA.

But Adele has never recorded a single with another artist.

Earlier this week Robbie ruled out any future indie collaborations by slamming “three chord knobheads” of the Nineties.
