“Randomly, I got the push from two people. One was Junior telling me to write something cool, current, and fresh.
“The other was Gary Barlow. Gary and I did one of his ‘Crooner Sessions’ last year in the first lockdown and afterwards I sent him songs I had written and he basically told me to get my bum back in the studio and release some music.
“So now I’m working on two projects – one album that I plan to release soon, and another separate project with Gary. Watch this space!”
Peter’s eldest son, 15-year-old Junior – who he has with ex-wife Katie Price – has also been joining his dad in the studio.
He added: “Things are coming together in the studio and I’m working hard to get the album I want.
“Junior has been in with me at weekends and he’s really enjoying the experience.”
Meanwhile, after contracting coronavirus last month, the 47-year-old singer is finally feeling back to full health.
He said: “I’m finally managing to run now without getting out of breath following my recovery from coronavirus.
“Only two weeks ago I was getting puffed out on a simple bike ride.”
