Robbie Williams Rejoining Take That In Two Years Time?

The will he, won’t he story of whether Robbie Williams and Take That will reunite as a five piece once again has now been rumbling on for a couple of years. As soon as Take That without Robbie decided to get back together, it’s been a question fans have been asking.

The last couple of weeks have seen new twists to the tale, with Take That and Robbie reportedly meeting up in New York and heading for a recording studio together. It looked as though the reunion was imminent.

But while it remains very likely to happen, it now looks like there’s going to be a couple of years wait before anything actually comes of it. After all, Robbie is currently on the comeback trail and trying to promote his latest solo offering, Reality Killed The Video Star.

In an interview with GQ magazine, Robbie said:

“It will happen. But not in the next 18 months, two years. There’s contracts to fulfil. And then I can do what I want. I’d rather have this album come back, be huge and then go, ‘Right, can I go and play with me mates now?’”

“We all had a massive chat, one of those chats that other bands who split up can’t seem to have. It was really healing, if that doesn’t sound too nancy. And at the end of it everything had gone and we were in the kitchen and I’d got my arm round Gary. I just loved him. I think he felt the same way. It was really beautiful.”

So I’m guessing Robbie Williams has to release at least one more album as a solo artist on his current record deal and then he’ll be free to rejoin Take That. And I’m convinced that’s what will now happen, with Robbie then taking a break from his solo work to go and play with his mates.
