 Robbie Williams has reached out to Radiohead about a collaboration. The former Take That star, 49, wants Thom Yorke and co to provide a backing track for a new cover he wants to release, but sadly, has yet to hear back from the band. Doting dad Robbie is keen to record a rock version of The Weather Girls' 1983 classic It's Raining Men. He'd follow in the footsteps of Geri Horner aka Ginger Spice, 50, who released her version in 2001, by putting his own spin on the timeless track. And if Robbie doesn't hear back from Radiohead, he plans to ask Nine Inch Nails frontman and composer Trent Reznor instead, according to the Sun.
