Robbie Williams has vowed to quit music when he finds true love.

The singer releases his tenth solo album, 'Rudebox', on Monday (23.10.06) and insists he won't stop writing songs and performing until he falls in love.

Robbie is quoted by Scotland's Daily Record newspaper as saying: "There is always a song to be written. Until this dies within me, I will continue.

"If I fall in love and want to travel around the world with that person, then perhaps I will stop.

"But I am not in love. I have work to do which gives me a purpose in life."

The 'She's The One' singer has been unlucky in love and his last serious relationship was with model Rachel Hunter in 2003.

He had a fling with British socialite Tara Palmer-Tomkinson earlier this year and was once engaged to All Saints singer Nicole Appleton, who is now dating his arch rival Liam Gallagher, singer of Oasis.

Robbie has also been romantically linked to former Spice Girls Geri Halliwell and Melanie C, Natalie Imbruglia, Cameron Diaz and Nicole Kidman.

Though the former Take That member says he is now concentrating on his career, his latest album has been panned by critics and he recently cancelled the Asian leg of his world tour due to "stress and exhaustion".  So, if he quits music when he finds love, will he serve beer in a pub too?
