Take That’s surprise comeback is motoring ahead – despite the lads vowing to take an extended break this year. Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald have been making real progress in the studio.
Songwriter Gary has clearly overcome his writers’ block – which was giving him cause for concern at this year’s Ivor Novello awards – and the quartet have been holding fruitful sessions at London’s celebrated Sarm Studios.
A source said: “The lads have been on a roll. They had intended to take the rest of the year off but Gary has been firing on all cylinders and has penned a number of new tracks. Everyone thought they should strike while the iron’s hot.”
It’s been two years since their album Beautiful World marked the band’s return after a ten-year absence.
Well his Mum might be dreaming that her son will rejoin former band Take That as they climb to success with their reunion gig; but Robbie Williams is not welcomed by lead man Gary Barlow.
Only weeks after the band claimed the door was always open; Gary has now claimed there is “no place” for Robbie. Furthermore, Mark Owen can be quoted as saying, “We asked him when we reformed but he had commitments - he had to walk his dog that day.”
Ouch! Robbie is not having a good time at the moment. After splitting with the band in 1995, blaming his relationship with Barlow; he rose to stardom as a solo artist in his own right. But now it seems not only did the critics slash his latest album, Rudebox, he appears to have writers block.
Robbie Williams’ Mum has been quoted as believing that her son is likely to perform with Take That again. Robbie is said to be very pleased for his former band’s current success; despite rumours that he himself is drying up and becoming “old news”.
Jan Williams said: “On the question of him doing something with them, I feel that will happen. It would be something he wanted to do. I’m thrilled that out of all the negative stuff that happened in the past, there’s now something great happening.’
Also to quell the rumours that Robbie is “losing it” as mentioned in recent papers, mummy dearest has said her son is a very happy boy at the moment; switching his time between recording and writing in his studio, and playing football with his mates.
Oh, well, if Mummy says so it must be true. Everyone can stop worrying now.
