Robbie’s back for good!
Robbie Williams is ready to reunite with his old Take That pals, the Daily Star can reveal. The Angels idol is “thrilled” that his former group are enjoying huge success with their album, Beautiful World. And Robbie insists a comeback with the world’s biggest boyband “will happen”. In a sensational move, he said he now can’t wait to perform with Gary Barlow, 36, Jason Orange, 36, Howard Donald, 38, and Mark Owen, 35.
Robbie, 33, has just had a stint in a rehab clinic in Los Angeles, where he was treated for an addiction to prescription drugs. Now he is getting his life back on track by penning a catalogue of new songs. He’s also been working with a series of top producers in America and is said to be “putting his all” into creating a worldwide hit record. Last night his proud mum Jan, who has supported her son through his battle with drink and drugs, opened her heart exclusively to the Star. She confirmed that Robbie wanted to reunite with the band which first shot him to stardom, thanks to hits including Relight My Fire.
Drugs counsellor Jan, 56, said: “He’s thrilled at how Take That have come back. “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. “Take That were excellent when they were all together – and they are excellent now.” And former bandmate Jason, who was Robbie’s best pal before the band split in 1995, said he would be welcomed back.
Jason said: “Maybe it’s my romanticism, but I think if we do future albums it’s inevitable Rob will sing with us.” Jan – the inspiration behind Robbie’s hit Angels – has revealed she flew out to LA to be there when he left the £700-a-night Cottonwood Clinic on March 6. And she told his army of fans not to worry, because he is getting his life back on track. She said: “He’s fine. He’s on a good road to recovery. “He’s enjoying his life and his football, and going out with the lads and having a laugh. It’s great to see. “He’s doing a lot of writing. He spends a lot of time in the studio. He’s in a very good place.” Pals of the singer also say he has been on top form since leaving rehab. He has since been hitting the LA club scene with a vengeance – but insiders insist his partying is no cause for concern. In fact, it is quite the reverse.
One friend said: “He’s very well and on really good form at the moment. “We’re just relieved that he’s so happy and back to his best.”
