Robbie confirmed he was reuniting with his bandmates Gary, Mark Owen, Howard Donald and Jason Orange last year, following months of speculation. He has recorded a new album with the group, and they are set to go on tour later this year.

Robbie first left the group in 1995, with Gary, Mark, Howard and Jason deciding to go their separate ways the following year. The four men eventually reunited in 2005, and have achieved huge success since. Gary admits it took time for them to get used to being a four piece group, and he still sees their future that way.

“The interesting thing about that was we didn’t think we could do it as a four,” he revealed. “We had that conversation, ‘Can we do this?’ That was the reason we split. When we got back together, we asked again, ‘Can we do this? Can we?’ We didn’t know. Even moving forward we still see our future as a four piece band in general.”

Gary struggled to be taken seriously as a solo artist when Take That split, and it’s something which still plays on his mind. Reuniting with the group was instrumental in making him feel better about himself. He revealed the moment he realised their comeback single Patience was a hit was life changing.

“I wanted to be doing better stuff than I was doing. It’s very hard when you’re coming from a successful band and then you’re not successful because nobody wants to talk to you or know you in this industry,” he told BBC Radio 2. “But if you love what you do and are passionate eventually you hope to get where you’re going to. I think I wrote some good stuff for people. A lot of music is confidence. Getting back with the band and having our first hit Patience was amazing. Confidence is everything, you can’t quantify it.

“We’re all in a fantastic place, we’re very, very happy. Bands are really difficult, it involves a number of people getting on and feeling a part of it. We’re in a great place with this, everyone’s been involved in every corner of the album. We took a big step forward with the sound and were worried about the fan base but they seemed to love it.”

GARY BARLOW, who welcomed Rob back into TAKE THAT last year, stunned fans yesterday by revealing he still views the man band as a "four-piece".

In an interview to mark his 40th birthday today, Gary said: "Even moving forward, I know we're back with Rob right now but I still see our future as a four-piece band.

"We see Take That as a four-piece band in general."

That might just rub Rob up the wrong way, Gaz.

Robbie devastated the group when he quit in 1995 but patched things up with them last year. The singer said rejoining the boys was "like coming home".

On Radio 2 yesterday CHRIS EVANS presented Gary with a birthday cake. But Gaz's utterances on the show make it sound like the reunion isn't permanent.

He added: "Anyone who fancies a holiday can go next! Or we could go bigger, and get more members, look at BLAZIN' SQUAD.

"When we came back in 2005 we had the conversation 'Can we do this as a four?'. Thanks to fans who bought the records, we proved we can."

Robbie rejoined Gary, MARK OWEN, JASON ORANGE and HOWARD DONALD and they released Progress - the fastest-selling album in the UK this century - and their stadium tour, which starts in June, sold more than a million tickets in two days.

Despite the sudden uncertainty, Gary claims the band - including Rob - are feeling positive.

He added: "We're all in a fantastic place, we're very happy. Bands are difficult, it involves a number of people getting on and feeling a part of it.

"We're in a great place with this album. Everyone has been involved in every corner of it. We're excited for the tour."

That should put some worried minds at rest. But if it is their last tour as a five-piece, those ticket prices have just gone up £50 on eBay.

Happy birthday, Gary.

The singer - who celebrated his 40th birthday this week - told BBC Radio 2 Robbie Williams was continuing to work with them in the studio, although he was unsure whether the tracks would form a new album.

It comes just days after Gary said during an interview that he thought of the group as "a four-piece", without Robbie, who rejoined the line-up after a 15-year absence for latest album Progress.

But interviewed during a special show to mark his milestone birthday, Gary said Robbie was always welcome in the group. "I want it to be that [Robbie] can be here whenever he wants and when he doesn't want to we'll be back as a four-piece, and if Rob wants to go and be solo then great, but please come back one day. I want to make it that fluid," he said.

The Rule the World singer insisted that when Robbie returned to the group, no dates had been set in stone for how long he would stay.

"We can exist and be successful as a four-piece band. Right now we are a five-piece band and we don't really know where that's going to at this point," he added.

"We're actually back recording right now, new songs. I don't think it's going to be a new record, I think its going to be an addition.

"I don't think we feel like we'd said it all when we got to the end of this record and we want to add to it, so we're already back writing and recording as a five-piece again."

Большинство поклонников Робби Уильямса считают, что музыкант должен продолжить свою карьеру в Take That – по крайней мере, в течение ближайших нескольких лет.
Робби Уильямс

Таковы результаты специального опроса, проведенного радиостанцией BBC Radio 1, сообщает muzobzor.ru. Только один из шести человек, принимавших в нем участие, заявил, что Уильямс в одиночку добьется большего, чем со своими товарищами.

В то же время, лишь половина выразила мысль, что Робби Уильямсу стоит остаться в Take That навсегда. Остальные сошлись во мнении, что он мог бы покинуть группу через два-три года.

Недавно Гэри Барлоу – один из участников Take That – заявил, что и он, и его товарищи готовы продолжать работать даже в том случае, если Робби Уильямс решит покинуть их.

"Мы готовы двигаться вперед. Сейчас мы работаем с Робом, но в будущем Take That видится нам группой из четырех участников", - заявил он.

Однако затем Робби Уильямс опубликовал видеопослание к Гэри Барлоу, в котором заверил, что он хочет продолжить карьеру в группе.

Напомним, весной Робби Уильямс и Take That должны отправиться на гастроли. Тур стартует 30 мая концертом в Сандерленде и закончится пятью выступлениями в Лондоне с первого по пятое июля.

Их совместный альбом Progress увидел свет в ноябре прошлого года.
