Howard’s Robbie call
Take That star Howard Donald has revealed he personally asked Robbie Williams to reunitView the profile for Robbie Williams on Celebrity Spotlighte with the group. The boy band reformed last year and after a sell-out comeback tour are currently riding high in both the UK singles and album charts. When they first reunited, the band – Howard, Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Jason Orange – invited Robbie, who quit the group 11 years ago to pursue a solo career, to join them on stage through the media.
Now, Howard has revealed he also telephoned the ‘Angels’ singer to ask him if he wanted to rejoin the foursome. He told Now magazine: “I personally phoned Rob and asked if he’d like to come on tour. He was genuinely touched that we asked him, but he said, ‘No, but thanks for asking.’ “To be fair to him, he’d already signed up to do his own extensive world tour, so he didn’t have time.”
