Robbie is back in Take That but is he back for good?
July 19, 2010
The prayers of thousands of Yummy Mummies have been answered and Robbie Williams has announced that his now back in the fold with his former group Take That. He rejoins his band mates Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald, but will he be back for good? The recent poor sales of Robbie’s last albums Reality Killed the Video Star and Rudebox which combined sales did not equal that of his 2005 CD Intensive Care may have helped Robbie releaise where the money really is especially as the last Take That CD The Circus sold 3 times as much as Rudebox.
His return was the subject of gossip columns around Fleet Street for months and it was previously thought that he would just be doing a duet with Gary Barlow just for his own Greatest Hits compilation but it is now confirmed that he is back for a full album that is due to be released in November this will be proceeded by the song “Shame” that features Robbie and Gary that is part of Robbie’s Greatest Hits. Once the new CD is out there is sure to be a major tour as the last Take That tour was a complete sell out and with Robbie back its only going to make a lot more money!
