The singer, 52, has bid farewell to Michael Loney who works with ie:music, the company that was co-founded by Robbie's late manager David Enthoven. 

In a statement given to The Sun, Robbie said: 'It's been an incredible time and I was fortunate to be managed by some truly wonderful people — most specifically David Enthoven, Tim Clark and Michael Loney.

'However, at this particularly buoyant time of my career, with so many opportunities in front of me and with the music business changing so rapidly, I felt it was time for a change — a fresh energy.

'I am currently putting together a brand new team and am hugely excited about the future.'

A source told the publication that the parting of ways is 'entirely amicable', with Michael resigned as a director from Robbie's eight companies on Thursday.
