Robbie Williams confirms Take That plans

[sindydoll]

Robbie Williams has confirmed that he has plans to perform again with Take That.
The 'Bodies' popstar, who left the group in 1995, spoke about reuniting with former bandmates Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross.
When asked whether a reformation may happen, he said: "Yes I hope so."
He continued: "We've got together, done bits and bobs. I can't say much."
The singer was rumoured to have spent time in a New York studio with the 'Rule The World' group earlier this year. Barlow has also spoke frequently about his renewed friendship with the 35-year-old.
Williams, who is promoting new album Reality Killed The Video Star, performed upcoming single 'You Know Me' and 2002 hit 'Feel' on the BBC chatshow.

i love how papers can turn things around

He said we've done bits and bobs not yes i will be returning for a one off or not!!!

They dont need him....he decided to leave...should never go back

[sindydoll]

i dont think he should go back he had the chance turned them down laughed thinking they would never make it and look at them bigger than ever before..im not a fan but im pleased for them

[Chloe O'brien]

He has left it too late to go back. If he was to rejoin the group it should have been within the first couple of years after he left not 14 years later. Take That are a four piece band now and that is how they should stay.

[Abbie]

I dont think they need it, I wish they would just leave things like they are

I mean if they did a one of thing but maybe some charity concert I would accept that

he is returning to do a one off gig to do a children in need gig at the royal albert hall

Robbie Williams will reportedly bring an end to his 14-year absence from Take That with a one-off performance next week.

The show is to form part of a Children In Need concert, which is being held at the Royal Albert Hall and will also include performances by Snow Patrol, Lily Allen, Dizzee Rascal, Leona Lewis, Muse and Sir Paul McCartney.

A source told the Daily Star that 'Could It Be Magic' might be the song through which the greatly-anticipated reformation is played out.

"It's the gig where Robbie finally gets back with Take That. They're mates again and doing it for charity seems like the best way," the insider said.

"Everyone fears Rob will change his mind. But he feels it's the right time."

Williams left the boyband in 1995 to launch his own career. Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Howard Donald and Jason Orange remained together before eventually splitting the following year. They reformed in 2006 and have recently been working on their first live album Take That Present: The Circus Live, which is due for release at the end of this month.

Take That singer Mark Owen has married his fiancee Emma Ferguson at an intimate ceremony in the Highlands.

The service was held at Cawdor Parish Church, near Inverness, followed by a reception at Cawdor Castle.

The couple emerged from the church just before 1800 GMT and were showered with confetti by their guests.

Take That, made up of Owen, Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Jason Orange, were reunited with former bandmate Robbie Williams at the event.

Wedding guests made an archway for the couple to walk under, which obscured the bride and groom from the view of fans who had queued for up to six hours, leading to shouts and boos.

The wedding service had begun as darkness fell on the Highland town. It is understood the bride had requested a service by candlelight.

Owen, 37, from Oldham, arrived with fellow band members Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Jason Orange and waved at fans.

Former band member Robbie Williams was also at the ceremony, having arrived in Scotland on a private jet late on Friday night.

The band, rumoured to be reuniting as a group, were expected to sing at the wedding, with Owen posting on the website: "No doubt once the boys have had a few drinks we will get into song."

The bride arrived 25 minutes late for the wedding, wearing a white V-neck fitted gown, embellished with crystals, and an antique-style veil.

Surrounded by photographers, she was assisted into the church by her bridesmaids.

She smiled and waved as the crowd outside the church cheered and applauded.

Celebrations were due to be held in two huge teepees constructed for the massive event.

Cawdor Castle, between Inverness and Nairn, has been the ancestral seat of the Thanes of Cawdor since the late 14th Century and was popularised in Shakespeare's tragedy MacBeth.

The estate houses Drynachan Lodge, which sleeps up to 22 people and is surrounded by five cottages where guests will also be staying.

The giant teepees, which can hold up to 60 people, have been erected on the grass behind the lodge overlooking the river Findhorn.

Industrial heaters to keep the guests warms were set up at the site.

Owen and Emma, who is an actress, arrived on Thursday, and had a dress rehearsal in the evening.

The marriage is the biggest celebrity wedding to hit the Highlands since Madonna wed Guy Ritchie at Skibo Castle in 2000.

Only 50 guests, including the couple's two children, Elwood, three, and Willow Rose, one, were due to witness the low-key ceremony.

'Under orders'

After the service, the guests were due to be transported to Cawdor Castle for a private, lavish reception with high-security employed to stop gate-crashing.

Before the service, Arlene Lapham, manageress at the Cawdor Tavern, just yards for the church, said: "I think it will be a great asset to the village and will put Cawdor on the map. It is hard to say what we all expect because Cawdor is a quiet village and you don't see many people."

However, Cawdor pensioner Alasdair MacLeod said he was concerned about where fans and the media would park in the village.

"The biggest difficulty is parking and of course all of the fanatics could be quite a problem," he said.

One local, who did not wish to be named, said: "The whole of Cawdor is abuzz with expectation.

"Staff at the castle are under orders not to say anything about it, but we have heard they are gutting out part of the castle to prepare something special for the reception."

Owen, who won the second series of Celebrity Big Brother in 2002, has been engaged to Emma since 2006.

The couple, who have turned down magazine offers to cover the ceremony, have visited the Highlands in the past and have told friends the venue is their dream location.

Take That reformed in 2006 - more than a decade after splitting up.

Congratulations to them

A tearful Robbie Williams has joined his old Take That bandmates on stage for the first time in 15 years.
Robbie back for good?









The five were together on Thursday night at the Royal Albert Hall in London. It was the Children in Need gig Gary Barlow spent months arranging.
After the band opened the show with Greatest Day Barlow, 38, told the audience it was "the perfect time to introduce an old friend."
Williams came on to embrace his old pals before singing Bodies and new single, You Know Me.
This latest show of unity will fuel rumours a proper reunion could be on the cards.
The show, which included performances from Leona Lewis and Muse, will be broadcast on BBC1 on Thursday November 19 at 8pm.

He has left it too late to go back. If he was to rejoin the group it should have been within the first couple of years after he left not 14 years later. Take That are a four piece band now and that is how they should stay.
