A little over ten years ago, Robbie Williams said sayonara toTake That, the boy band that helped him become a household name in the UK, to embark on a solo career in America.
We all know how well that turned out!
We bet more than 1/2 of you reading this don’t even know who the hellz he is!
Anyway, for the half of you who might give a damn, it looks like Robbie’s swallowed his pride, has tired of trying to make contact with aliens, and has said that he’s open to rejoining Take That, who are still going strong in the UK. In fact, their latest release is on its way to selling 1 million.
In a recent blog post Robbie wrote, “I’d love to be in the band again but I’ve got some unfinished business of my own… We got together a lot over the summer. It was amazing. We’ve all matured a lot since we parted. I’m very pleased to say the differences we’ve had have just melted away. We had a lot of serious chats. Everything we had problems with just boils down to one thing – victims of circumstance. No one was wrong, no one was right. After they left, I felt like a tonne of bricks had been removed from my shoulders. We’d put right what an awful lot of other broken bands fail to do.”
It looks like the band may be warming up to the idea of a reunion with Robbie. Current Take That member, Gary Barlow, told the Sun, “The band has been having great fun with Robbie and we’ve been talking a lot. It’s been really good getting to know him again. He has sorted himself out and is in a really good place at the moment. It’s great news that he’s decided to come back to the UK. I’ve always loved working here and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else – and I’ve been telling Robbie for a while now that he needs to move back. I think the time is right for him to come back now. I don’t think the US is the best place for him to be. This is where he thrives and moving is the best thing he can do for his career. He’s got a lot of unfinished business here and he’ll be back to his best in no time if he comes home.”
Enjoying the humble pie, Robbie?
