Robbie Williams, 51, rocks a biker jacket as he films dramatic scenes for his latest music video in London
Robbie Williams was spotted filming his latest music video in London ahead of his mega 2025 tour on Friday.
The Take That star, 51, lit up parts of London as he belted out his latest track Rocket, while surrounded by cameras and curious fans.
Dressed to impress and full of energy, Robbie looked confident as he strutted around the city, ready to relaunch himself to the top of the charts.
The pop icon sports red tartan trousers for the outing, along with and a statement leather jacket, which featured some funky graffiti and badges.
Underneath he wore a black and white graphic T-shirt and finished off the bold look with a pair of dark sunglasses, monochrome trainers and an array of chunky silver rings.
In one scene Robbie had a host of backing dancers behind him who were dramatically waving their arms around as they followed the rocker with a huge speaker.
In another scene, Robbie stood beside a live band belting out his new tune.
The new single drops just weeks before he hits the stage headlining Edinburgh's Gas Murrayfield Stadium on May 31, London's Emirates Stadium on June 6, and Manchester's Co-Op Live on June 11.
The UK leg will also include a date at Bath's Royal Crescent on June 13 and the star will be supported by Rag'n'Bone Man and Lottery Winners.
Keeping up his cheeky chappie persona, Robbie couldn't contain his excitement about his upcoming tour, as he walked around with a sandwich board with the words 'Robbie Williams tour amazingly tickets still available' on one side and 'Let me entertain you' on the other.
The singer was mobbed by beloved fans who watched on with adoration as he walked around the streets followed by his dancers and camera crew.
Fans looked thrilled as Robbie took time out during the filming to pose for pictures with them.
When he announced the tour last year, the Rock DJ hitmaker boasted: 'This tour is going to be my boldest yet - I can't wait to see you next year.
'There will be songs from the movie 'Better Man' and some new music too…but more on that soon. RW.'

Robbie also revealed he had 'written loads of songs' and is feeling more 'ambitious' than ever.
Last year he told Virgin Radio: 'I've got loads of plans. I've written loads of songs, I've got my film [Better Man] at the end of this year and I'm doing Hyde Park in the summer.
'I have never been busier, I've never been as ambitious as I am right now. I am full of purpose, and I am loving life.'
It comes after the singer opened up with his fans about how he struggles being recognised and asked for selfies when out and about.
The singer took to Instagram as he recounted how he had been asked for multiple photos on a recent flight as he admitted requests for selfies cause him discomfort and panic.
Robbie explained that while he can mask it well, he urged fans to consider what else could be going on for him in the moment as he made the point he is a normal man with a family.
Discussing the flight he pointed out he had had little sleep and was trying to look after his four children, and one selfie would undoubtedly trigger more as it would alert people as to who he was.
He explained that one fan had passed him a 'lovely note', praising his Netflix documentary that detailed his struggles with fame.
Robbie then decided to write back as he explained a selfie would cause his anxiety to 'spike, because then the whole cabin would start wondering who I am'.
Revealing that more notes and requests for photos then followed he dived into a discussion on being a celebrity and the pressures that come with it.
He explained: 'There's a kind of unspoken law: as a celebrity, you should be accessible 24/7.
'Greet all strangers like you're the mayor of the best town anyone's ever visited. Make sure their wishes are met, whatever they are.'
Yet Robbie stressed that celebrities are normal humans like the rest of us as he added, many are 'fans of fame, not necessarily of me'.
He wrote: 'What I am saying is - let people be people. Humans struggling - like we all are - in one way or another.'
The star urged fans to give celebrities the 'dignity of their privacy, their wants, their needs', as he could be 'on the phone with my mum, talking about her dementia or thinking about my dad's Parkinson's'.

Liam Gallagher slams Scottish council for description of Oasis fans
Liam Gallagher has slammed a Scottish council after officials were accused of suggesting Oasis fans are 'drunk, middle-aged and fat'. The remarks were revealed in safety briefings drawn up ahead of the band's three sellout shows at Murrayfield in August. In the documents, concerns were raised that the sold-out Oasis Live '25 Tour would clash with the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. One note from the documents, which were released following a freedom of information request by the Scottish Sun, shows council officials warning that 'middle aged men take up more room, consider this when working out occupancy'. Another details 'concern about crowds of Oasis on weekends as they are already rowdy and the tone of the band'. It adds: 'Concerned about the safety of the Fringe and its performers. Many performers are considering not attending for that weekend.' One document, which notes 'DF Concerts' in the heading, suggests there will be 'medium to high intoxication' at the concert, and to expect a 'substantial amount of older fans', but adds there have been 'minimal arrests' at recent Gallagher events. Responding on social media, Gallagher said: 'To the Edinburgh council I've heard what you said about Oasis fans and quite frankly your attitude f****** stinks I'd leave town that day if I was any of you lot.' In a second post, he added: 'I'd love to see a picture of all the people on the Edinburgh council bet there's some real stuning individuals.' The meetings appear to involve a variety of groups including promoters DF Concerts, Police Scotland, ScotRail, the Scottish Ambulance Service and security firm G4S. David Walker, of the Oasis Collectors Group, criticised the comments made in the safety briefings. He told the Scottish Sun: 'To call fans drunk, middle-aged, and fat is a nasty, sneering stereotype, it's a jaundiced view.' Around 210,000 people are expected to attend the three Edinburgh shows amid the group's highly anticipated reunion tour. Culture and communities convener, councillor Margaret Graham, said: 'We're very proud to host the biggest and best events in Edinburgh throughout the year, which bring in hundreds of millions of pounds to the local economy and provide unparalleled entertainment for our residents and visitors. 'As with any major event which takes place in the city, we prepare extensively alongside our partners to ensure the safety and best possible experience of everyone involved – and Oasis are no different. 'No two events are the same in terms of requirements or planning and our multi-agency approach reflects this appropriately. 'We're also working closely with residents in the local area to make sure these concerts pass off as smoothly as possible. 'Over the past few years, we've hosted many similar events and managed to strike the right balance between communicating well with residents and fulfilling the needs of major events and I have no doubt we can do so once again. 'We always look to learn lessons from previous years to update and improve on our plans. 'We're all looking forward to seeing Oasis take to the stage this August and I'm sure that they'll 'live forever' as some of the most memorable concerts ever performed at Murrayfield.'
