British pop star Robbie Williams has ended his professional relationship with his longtime manager Michael Loney after working together for 14 years, marking a significant shift in the singer’s career.
Williams confirmed the decision in a statement, explaining that the split comes as he prepares to enter a new phase of his career. The singer said the move was driven by the rapidly changing music industry and his desire to bring fresh ideas and energy into his team.
The partnership between Williams and Loney had lasted more than a decade, with Loney representing the singer through the management company ie:music. The firm was originally co-founded by David Enthoven and Tim Clark, who played key roles in shaping Williams’ career in the music industry.
Despite the major change, Williams emphasised that the decision was made on good terms. He expressed gratitude for the years he spent working with Loney and the wider team, describing the collaboration as an “incredible time” in his career.
According to reports, the singer believes a shake-up in his management team could help him pursue new opportunities and remain competitive in a fast-moving music landscape. Insiders say Williams is eager to explore new ideas and push his career even further, particularly as he continues to release music and expand into other creative projects.
The decision also comes at a moment of renewed momentum for the singer. Earlier this year, Williams reportedly broke a long-standing chart record previously held by The Beatles, an achievement that has motivated him to keep aiming higher in his career.
Sources close to the artist say he is now assembling a brand-new management team as he prepares for the next stage of his journey in music and entertainment.
The singer, who has sold millions of records worldwide and remains one of the most successful British artists of his generation, is said to be excited about the future as he begins this new chapter.
