The rumours are true. Robbie Williams, the man who famously walked out on Take That 15 years ago, has reunited with his former bandmates Gary, Mark, Howard and Jason and have recorded a brand new album together. The five piece are set to tour the UK in the summer of 2011.
Walking out on the group in 1995, Robbie Williams entered a dark chapter of his life battling alcohol and drug abuse. Having rebuilt his career whilst slowly settling differences between himself and his former band, Robbie today confirmed the rumours, stating that his return to Take That was like “coming home”.
An official statement made by Take That earlier today read: “The rumours are true… Take That: the original line-up, have written and recorded a new album for release later this year.”
Now questions will be begin to surface with regards to what’s next for Take That. A new album will be released from the group this November, in addition to that a new Take That tour is expected to feature in Robbie’s year-long reunion too. Reports are circulating that the group are to play a five-night stint at Wembley Stadium in July 2011.
Speaking about his delight for the reunion, Robbie Williams said, "I get embarrassingly excited when the five of us are in a room." Bandmate Mark Owen also spoke of his joy for the reformation, "Getting the five of us to be in a room together, although always a dream, never actually seemed like becoming a reality. Now the reality of the five of us making a record together feels like a dream. It's been an absolute delight spending time with Rob again. But I'm still a better footballer," he joked.
Take That’s new album will be their first as a full line-up since 1995’s ‘Nobody Else’. The album is to be produced by Stuart Price who is famed for his past work with Madonna and Kylie Minogue.
