Robbie Williams

After a spate of rumours about a possible Take That reunion Robbie Williams has made his desires vocal. In a public statement after his return to his British homeland Robbie said: “I’d love to be in the band again.” This is the strongest statement so far.

Garry Barlow and Robbie had met recently for jam sessions. There have been reports and hearsays about their reunion gig recording for a special DVD.

But everything seemsa to have changed after Take Thats recent success. Last night he said he would “love” to rejoin them, simply adding: “I’d like to think we’d be the only band in the history of music to get together because of artistic differences.”

Last month Robbie and Garry had met at an Arsenal football match. They had discussed about their possible reunion and comeback album. The singer, 34, who has lived in Los Angeles for five years, has had his old group’s symbol tattooed on his right arm. The British singer living in Los Angeles, USA has dished out £7million on an historic Wiltshire mansion, which he plan to set up as his base for a charm offensive to promote his new album next year. Robbie sporting a tattoo of his band mates said he found himself “over the moon” for his old group for their hugely successful comeback.

Robbie even wrote a message about his plans on his Inner Sanctum website.

Take That (Old Days)

He said : “Just thought I’d set a few things straight about me and the boys. 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…” He said that the band members chatted and laughed like old days. He said that he wants to put back things. “…I celebrated by getting the Take That symbol tattooed on my right arm. I’m proud to know the boys and I’m proud to have been in the band.”

Take That

Take That have reportedly come up with a song about Amy Winehouse. They said that the song that has just been penned deals with a

character similar to Winehouse’ and is probably even inspired by Amy’s whirlwind rehab life.

The ‘Shine’ hit makers have penned ‘How Did It Come To This’ for their new album ‘Circus’ and hinted it was inspired by the troubled ‘Rehab’ singer.

The track was written by Jason Orange and describes the exploits of a “slightly schizophrenic and OCD girl from Camden Town”, the area of North London where Amy lives her life under the spotlight “a world away”. Her world though in constant spotlight is separated from the world of others. She lives a secluded life with constant indulgence with drugs and pots. She has a life, if we

may at all call it as one, that has more rehab visits and suffering than celeb flash. As an Artist of our times Amy is regarded as a talented singer. But many believe that Amy has started destroying her life and talent. Due to heavy intake of crack cocaine Amy’s voice has started to degrade.

Amy Winehouse

Lyrics to the track include: “All this noise and all these lights/All this talking through the night. All this expectation now it’s making me neurotic/ Tell me have I seen your face before? How did it come to this?/ How did it ever come to this? “Have you turned on your TV?/ Have you seen reality?”

Frontman Gary Barlow is delighted with their forthcoming single ‘Greatest Day’ because it has helped them put their concert set lists together.

He explained: “We’ve got so many songs to choose from to close live shows, but we always struggled for one to open with. ‘Greatest Day’ is that song.”

Coldplay

Coldplay has expressed their desire to play with Take That. They are planning to perform on a big stadium show. Coldplay frontman has posted on the band’s website : “I would open for Take That. We were in the dressing room the other day and, for whatever reason, we started singing ‘Back For Good.’” Chris has written that he would love to perform in a show next summer.

Chris Martin wants to use the Coldplay website as their platform to “…announce that if Take That want us to open for them, we’ll do it…”

Coldplay had failed in an attempt to book legendary concert venue Knebworth House, in Hertfordshire, England. They had planned long before for their proposed 2009 tour. Presently they are looking for the right venue. Take That will perform at London’s Wembley Stadium, Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium and Sunderland’s Stadium of Light.

Gary Barlow

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.

Robbie Williams

The former band mates came together in Robbie’s latest quest. Robbie Williams was heard out by Take That’s lead singer Gary Barlow. Robbie’s band former mates visited him in Los Angeles to hear his latest tracks of his new album. Gary Barlow was Williams’ bitter rival. Robbie left the band in 1995 following a series of run-ins and rows after which he remaining four members eventually disbanded in 1996. Gary has told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “We had some great hanging out time with Robbie in Los Angeles and he played us some of his new stuff. It was really good. He started out with us so we have a connection.” Take That had performed on a comeback tour in 2005 when they had reformed to bring out a new album in 2005. Gary, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen of Take That had persuaded Robbie to reunite.

Robbie Williams has had his share of musical disasters and flop albums, with his recent flop record ‘Rudebox’. Robbie leads a withdrawn life of his own. He was reportedly out of his relationship with girlfriend Ayda Field to focus on his music. Robbie known as a recluse in the music field has also been in news for his alien connection. He has reportedly been in an alien camp to develop his new album songs. The singer has claimed to have had several ET encounters. During his recent visit to Trout Lake in Washington he was seen carrying a ideo equipment in his search for aliens. Trout Lake in Washington is regarded as “… America’s number one UFO hotspot and a magnet for true believers in aliens,” according to Extraterrestrial expert Michael C. Luckman. Robbie has been identified as an alien ambassador by Michael. The ET expert said : “Robbie used the occasion as an opportunity to write several new songs about aliens. I wouldn’t be surprised if Robbie may be planning an alien album…”
