Talking of defamation, Robbie Williams is expected to formally apologise to former Take That manager Nigel Martin-Smith tomorrow over that previously reported dispute regarding the lyrics to his song 'The 90s' off the 'Rudebox' album. As previously reported, the original edit of the semi-autobiographical song accused Martin-Smith of denying Take That correct tour payments in the 90s. As soon as he heard what the song contained Martin-Smith began legal action, and successfully forced a re-edit of the song to remove the allegations. In a bid to bring that dispute to an end Williams has reportedly agreed to an out of court settlement, which will see him formally apologise and pay his former manager a six figure damages settlement. Martin-Smith told the Manchester Evening News: "Robbie has agreed to make a public apology and will pay damages. That will be the end of the matter".
