'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.
