Robbie Williams has spoken out about why he left The X Factor after one series as a judge.
Speaking at a London press conference held to announce the news that he has bought a 20% share in LMA, the Liverpool-based music-centric university and college that produced the LMA Choir, one of his X Factor acts, Williams explained that he will return to the show, but has taken a break as he’s recorded a new album.
“I have an album to promote” he said. “I’m gonna be all over the place to promote that. We wanted it to work desperately with The X Factor but it just wasn’t going to work. And it’s to be continued. Me and Simon [Cowell] are good friends. Our family are friends. The kids hang out all the time.
“It’s just a pause on the relationship and then it will carry on. But this year I have to go and promo our album to death.”
