Garry Barlow has revealed how he played “terrible” tricks on his former bandmate Robbie Williams. Both Garry and Robbie used to get down at each other. Their rivalry became so intense that they started playing dirty tactics at each other before Robbie parted ways with “Take That”.
Garry had recently met Robbie and the latter had belted out his numbers to his former mate. Garry said tha the had no hard feelings for Robbie anymore. Robbie and Garry were bitter foes after the band broke up. But Garry Barlow insisted : “I don’t feel anything about Robbie now. I feel really good about what’s happening with us, I feel good about it all – but not at Robbie’s expense. Not at all,” about his present feelings for his former band mate. It sure looks like Garry had a great time catching up with Robbie during his recent trip to Los Angeles.
Garry felt bad about his stupid jokes on Robbie when he said : “…I took Robbie’s album back to a music shop once and…’ Stupid, stupid things! Things you wouldn’t dream of doing as a 37-year-old bloke. Quite seriously I’d do it, as well. It wouldn’t be as a joke.”
Take That reunited in 2005 but without Robbie Williams. This had been a great cause of regret for Garry’s bandmate Mark Owen who felt that Robbie’s absence was hard on the bnad.
Garry also revealed in his recent interview with Britain’s Observer Music Monthly magazine that he had longed for Robbie’s return to Take That. He said he would have loved Robbie’s presence and the making of music together.
“…He should be here, having a laugh…Originally I wanted him to come back so that we could make something right, something that had been wrong. Back in the past. But I think we’ve done that now. We saw him in Los Angeles. Really, all Take That is is a therapy session. One long therapy session.” A reunion for Take That in the proper sense might just be round the corner. Till then time will save the day and Take That music.
