Hello sailor! Robbie Williams sails a ship through LA in music video for new track Go Gentle


He is a seasoned solo artist with his first seven solo albums reaching number one in the UK.

And Robbie Williams looked every inch the superstar as he starred in the video for his new track Go Gentle.

The newly released video features Robbie, 39, as a dashing captain with slicked back hair and a dark blue marine officer’s uniform as he sails down the streets of LA in a ship float, turning heads from passersby.

Hello sailor: Robbie Williams sails through the streets of Los Angeles, California, in the video for his new track Go Gentle

Dressed in a black blue two-piece with gold military detailing, he completed the look with patent leather shoes, worn without socks for added style.

Robbie is accompanied by a brass band dressed as sailors as he croons and commands his ship which carries a Union Jack flag.


The singer is seen passing through the sunny sights of LA as saxophone players add to the melody.


Unusual sight: The singer made a few people stop and stare as he made his way through the city abroad a boat on dry land



Perfect backdrop: The star passed the iconic Capitol Records building in Hollywood


At one point Robbie breaks into a whistle and proceeds to wave at the crowds before blowing a kiss at the end of the video.  

The track is taken from Robbie’s forthcoming album, Swings Both Ways, which is the anticipated follow-up to his 2001 swing album. 

Robbie explained his motivation behind the album: ‘First of all, I wanted to do a swing album because I wanted to do a swing album. I always knew I'd do another and I think now is the perfect time to do it.
‘It's different - it's not all covers. I had some songs that I wanted the world to hear and check out and maybe become part of the fabric of their lives, if I'm lucky enough, that I've had a hand in writing.

I'm the king of the world... Again: The track is taken from Robbie's forthcoming album, Swings Both Ways, which is the anticipated follow-up to his 2001 swing album

'So it's very, very similar to the last one, and very different - and hopefully I'm off to romance the world.’

The album features covers and original songs, in addition to duets with Michael Buble, Olly Murs, Rugus Wainright, Lily Allen and Kelly Clarkson.

It has also seen Robbie reunite with songwriter Guy Chambers on six new songs including a track called No One Likes a Fat Pop Star.

Go Gentle will be released on November 11, while the album Swings Both Ways is released on November 18.
